Stepping out of this fathers shadow and into the ring, Creed is ready to go toe to toe with the legendary Rocky franchise.

In this spin off from the long running series, Michael B. Jordan plays the troubled Adonis Johnson, a driven young fighter who despite the boxing ability pulsing through his veins, never knew his father, world heavyweight champion Apollo Creed, who died in the ring before he was born.

Looking to harness his unkempt talent, he finds a guiding hand in the form of one of Apollo’s most famous opponents: Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone). Despite his misgivings and insistence that he’s out of the fight game, Rocky sees in Adonis the spirit of his father, and agrees to take him on. And both men realise they need this, as they’re facing dangerous opponents.

Shot by Jordan’s Fruitvale Station director Ryan Coogler from a script he wrote with Aaron Covington with a cast including Tessa Thompson, Phylicia Rashad and real life pro boxer Anthony Bellew in the cast, Creed has shifted its release date slightly, and will now arrive in UK cinemas next February.
