There’s been a few photos released around Ryan Cooglar’s Creed – the Rocky spin-off movie focusing on Adonis Creed, son of Carl Weathers Apollo, who was memorably killed by the mighty fists of Dolph Lundgren’s Ivan Drago in Rocky IV – but none have featured the main man himself, Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky.

Well consider all your Rocky needs met by this image of the elder statesman of ham and eggers in the ring with his young prodigy, played by Michael B Jordan.

Written by Coogler and Aaron Covington, Creed follows the exploits of Adonis who, feeling the fire of the boxer coursing through his veins, heads to Philadelphia to seek out Rocky Balboa.

Hoping that Rocky will train him, Adonis battles through the older fighter’s insistence that he’s out of the game, and Rocky sees the strength and determination of his fierce rival and, later, closet friend in the young man. Reluctantly agreeing to help him out, he pushes Adonis towards a shot at a title, but is facing his own battles...

With Tessa Thompson, Phylicia Rashad, Graham McTavish and Tony Bellew in the cast, Creed has a release date of November 25.
