Watch the first trailer for the new Rocky film "Creed".

The first trailer for director Ryan Coogler's Creed has just been released and it looks like it has potential. Creed will be the next installment of the Rocky franchise and focuses on Adonis Johnson (Michael B. Jordan) as he trains as a boxer and soon becomes the protoge of Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone). See the full film synopsis inside the full article.



I am a very big fan of the Rocky franchise and have been since I was a little kid. I've always thought they were amazing films (except Rocky V) and loved the underdog story. I am definitely interested in this new film and can't wait to see more footage in future trailers.

Film Synopsis:

"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?"

Creed will be in theaters on November 25, 2015.
