The boxing drama Creed reunites filmmaker Ryan Coogler with his Fruitvale Station star Michael B. Jordan as Adonis Johnson, the son of Apollo Creed, and explores a new chapter in the “Rocky” story, starring Academy Award nominee Sylvester Stallone (Escape Plan) in his iconic role.
Michael and Sly dance up a storm in Creed
Adonis Johnson (Jordan) never knew his famous father, world heavyweight champion Apollo Creed, who died before he was born. Still, there’s no denying that boxing is in his blood, so Adonis heads to Philadelphia, the site of Apollo Creed’s legendary match with a tough upstart named Rocky Balboa. Once in the City of Brotherly Love, Adonis tracks Rocky (Stallone) down and asks him to be his trainer. Despite his insistence that he is out of the fight game for good, Rocky sees in Adonis the strength and determination he had known in Apollo—the fierce rival who became his closest friend. Agreeing to take him on, Rocky trains the young fighter, even as the former champ is battling an opponent more deadly than any he faced in the ring.
The sports film also stars Tessa Thompson (Selma), Phylicia Rashad (Lifetime’s Steel Magnolias) and English pro boxer and former three-time ABA Heavyweight Champion Anthony Bellew as boxing champ “Pretty” Ricky Conlan.
Featured on more than 40 critics’ “Top 10” film lists for 2015, the film is directed from a screenplay he wrote with Aaron Covington, based on a story by Coogler, and co-produced by Stallone.
