Rocky creator Sylvester Stallone previously confirmed that Dolph Lundgren’s Ivan Drago, and possibly his offspring, will be involved in a big bloody battle with Adonis Creed in the ring for MGM‘s in-development Creed II. Now Lundgren himself has posted a new video to Instagram of his training to bring back Drago in Creed II!Stallone has written the script, or at least what will serve as the basis for the script, after Ryan Coogler and Aaron Covington wrote the last one by themselves. With 2015’s Creed earning over $173 million at the worldwide box office and a Best Supporting actor Golden Globe win and an Oscar nod for Sylvester Stallone, MGM was said to be bullish about getting a sequel on the fast track. The original plan was for Creed II to land in theaters in November of 2017, which would not allow Ryan Coogler time to direct given his commitment to deliver Marvel Studios’ Black Panther for a February 16, 2018 release. However, since Stallone has only now finished the script, it is possible Coogler could come back, although he also has the Atlanta school drama Wrong Answer in development with Michael B. Jordan to star.Even without Coogler directing, the 31-year-old wunderkind will remain onboard as an executive producer and possibly guide another young filmmaker such as himself. Coogler’s previous discussions with Stallone for the next installment had the story potentially mirror Rocky IV, or even take a page from The Godfather Part II playbook and feature recurring flashbacks to Apollo Creed before his death.“You’ll have him face a different opponent, which I would say is a more ferocious, big Russian,” Stallone said previously. “There’s a lot there.”
Sylvester Stallone’s Instagram has been a gem for Rocky fans, from sharing updates on his script for Creed 2 to teasing the sequel’s production start date. And now he’s announced some bigger news: the highly anticipated film has found its director. (Yes, it’s Sly.)Rocky himself will step behind the camera once again to helm Creed 2, Stallone announced via Instagram on Monday night. The Oscar nominated actor previously directed Rocky II, III and IV, as well as 2006’s Rocky Balboa. He shared a photo of himself with Michael B. Jordan on the red carpet for 2015 film to announced the news.Stallone will now write, direct, produce, and co-star in Creed 2. We don’t know much about the movie beyond what little breadcrumbs Stallone has scattered across social media. He’s revealed the sequel to Ryan Coogler’s film would start filming in 2018 and shared two handwritten pages from his 439-page script. It’s exciting news for Rocky fans as Creed was the only film in the boxing franchise not penned by Stallone, written instead by Coogler and Aaron Covington. You can also expect Dolph Lundgren‘s Ivan Drago to return and get back in the ring to face Rocky in the sequel. Stallone teased: “You know I gotta hit Drago once.”
