Creed II – new pictures released showing Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester Stallone

Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures have released the first two official pictures from Creed II, the highly anticipated continuation of the Rocky saga.

Starring Michael B. Jordan, Sylvester Stallone and Tessa Thompson, the film is heading to cinemas later this year.

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.
