I just got word about a movie called Creed II that will be on my radar to watch in the future. The featured sport is boxing, and I used to watch boxing with my grandfather when I was young. It stars Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester Stallone. I hadn't realized there were 7 films in the Rocky & Creed saga, so maybe a weekend movie binge with my husband is in order. Here's what I know about Creed II's plot specifically:
Life has become a balancing act for Adonis Creed. Between personal obligations and training for his next big fight, he is up against the challenge of his life. Facing an opponent with ties to his family's past only intensifies his impending battle in the ring. Rocky Balboa is there by his side through it all and, together, Rocky and Adonis will confront their shared legacy, question what's worth fighting for, and discover that nothing's more important than family. Creed II is about going back to basics to rediscover what made you a champion in the first place, and remembering that, no matter where you go, you can't escape your history. The film releases in theaters on Wednesday, November 21. #CreedII |
