The first official trailer and images for the boxing drama "Creed" have been released. The film is a spinoff of the "Rocky" franchise and it stars Michael B. Jordan as Adonis Johnson, the son of world heavyweight champion Apollo Creed (played by Carl Weathers in the original films). Adonis never knew his father, so he decides to go to Philadelphia and follow in the footsteps of his legendary career. Helping him along the way is none other than Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), who reluctantly agrees to train him.
Co-written and directed by Ryan Coogler ("Fruitvale Station"), the film also stars Tessa Thompson, Phylicia Rashad, Graham McTavish, and Anthony Bellew.
"Creed" opens in theaters on November 25th.
Check out the trailer and images after the jump.
Official Synopsis
"From Warner Bros. Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures comes award-winning filmmaker Ryan Coogler’s “Creed.” The film explores a new chapter in the “Rocky” story and stars Academy Award nominee Sylvester Stallone in his iconic role. The film also reunites Coogler with his “Fruitvale Station” star Michael B. Jordan as the son of Apollo 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.
With Rocky in his corner, it isn’t long before Adonis gets his own shot at the title…but can he develop not only the drive but also the heart of a true fighter, in time to get into the ring?"
