Creed II trailer 2: Adonis and Rocky are back in the ring ready to take on a ghost from the past

The sons of Apollo Creed and Ivan Drago will pick up where their fathers left off more than 30 years ago. MGM and Warner Bros Pictures released the  second trailer of Creed II, the sequel to the 2015 Rocky spinoff. In Creed, Adonis Johnson, the son of Balboa rival-turned-mentor Apollo Creed, leaves behind a life of privilege to walk in the footsteps of a father he never knew.

Determined to seek revenge against a dangerous opponent, Adonis struggles to find balance between his personal obligations (with a pregnant girlfriend) and the next big fight. And as Balboa warns about the fight against the Drago clan, “He broke things in me that ain’t never been fixed. It ain’t worth it.” But it looks highly unlikely Adonis is going to listen.
