Leaving Soon
Creed II
Rocky Balboa and Adonis Creed reunite as the young boxer gears up for a meeting. But this time, it’s more than just a fight, against a man who is far more than just any opponent… Starring Sylvester Stallone, Michael B. Jordan, and Tessa Thompson.
For Adonis, this is more than just a fight – his identity is on the line, delicately balanced alongside his father’s legacy. If there’s anyone who understands, it’s Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), his former trainer and an old friend of his dad’s.
As he approaches the fight of a lifetime, Adonis must find a way to conquer the expectations he’s set for himself and finally accept who he really is. Rather than being concealed by his father’s shadow, it’s time for him to stand proudly alongside it.
