Creed 2 Thread

[Dr. Narcisse]

MGM, which financed the Warner Bros. release with New Line, is onboard. “There’s no doubt that we’re making a ‘Creed 2,’” says MGM CEO Gary Barber.

It’s not clear if Ryan Coogler, who is in negotiations for Marvel’s “Black Panther,” will return as director of the next “Creed.” “I know Ryan is probably going to be gone for a couple years,” Stallone says. “So there will be a quandary on: Do we work with another director and have Ryan produce, or do we wait? There’s a diminishing time acceptance of a sequel. Now they are cranking them out in a year.”

Coogler and Stallone have already developed ideas for the new “Creed.” One version of the story would take place in the past, which would mean — in a surprise that would energize the franchise’s fans — bringing back Carl Weathers to play Apollo Creed, who died in 1985’s “Rocky IV.” “Ryan has some ideas of going forward and backward and actually seeing Rocky and Apollo together,” Stallone revealed. “Think of ‘The Godfather 2.’ That’s what he was thinking of, which was kind of ambitious.” Stallone said he’d recently bumped into Weathers, who looked like he was still in good shape. “I can’t believe I got in the ring with him,” he says. “Even if it was play fighting.”

Coogler is startled to hear that Stallone has already let the cat out of the bag about their plan. “Oh no!” he says with a sigh. “There are no secrets with Sly.” Jordan sounds more skeptical. “So it’s going to be a CGI-version of Sly?” he teases, adding that he’d like to be in the next film. “I’m trying to think about it. Knowing Ryan, he’ll find a clever way to make that work.”

Another option would be a linear story with Apollo’s son Adonis (Michael B. Jordan) taking on another challenger. “You’ll have him face a different opponent, which I would say is a more ferocious, big Russian,” Stallone says. “You can start to meld my experiences and then you start to bring different cultures into it. And you can see what’s happening with the Russians today in America. The complication will come with the girl’s ambition, because she’s not Adrian. She has places to go, things to see, the clock is running on her hearing.”

Sylvester Stallone Says 'Creed' Sequel Could Reunite Rocky and Apollo (EXCLUSIVE)
That last one has to be Stallone's idea

The fighting Drago's son or some other big Russian idea has always been corny to me

For real..

I hope Stallone was kidding and meant they're really going with young replacements in the flashback idea.

Neither of the ideas presented seem interesting to me. We were introduced to a few fighters in the first movie, let him fight a few of them and then face Ward for the belt, or I wouldn't even mind a rematch with Conlan with Adonis coming out on top this time.

Conlan is going to prison for 7 years.

I think if they went with the other idea that they are going to open the movie with Creed fighting Ward.

Conlan getting an early release wouldn't require a huge suspension of belief, plus its a sequel so they can play with time in the next movie. I definitely want to see him fight Stuntman though, win the belt, and then fight another major opponent at the end of the movie.

They can with those other ideas.

How about introduce another up and coming boxer, someone pegged as an underdog going against Adonis but gives him a tough time, rematch he beats and brutalizes Adonis and then a rubber match where everyone is questioning if Adonis can do it, and how much the 2nd fight took out of him. Kind of like a Clubber Lang deal, but with 3 fights instead of 2, Adonis wins the first and kind of slacks a bit on training in the 2nd and gets his ass beat.

I like the idea of a "Ali/Joe Frazier" like 3 fight movie.

The last fight there being a possibility that one gets seriously injured...

 

[CoolazzFemale]

Damn...did you all see that clip tho.
He got knocked the hell out

 

[MartyMcFly]

Yeah I got nothing until this is more of an actual thing

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Stallone saw that Star Wars loot

and said you can make a killing keeping it completely retro (at least improve the money by Rocky standards)

 

[ThaRebel]

Those ideas sound like shyt.




Don't fukk up this franchise, Sly...

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

Villian needs to be Italian or Hispanic.

 

[D-NICE]

They need to bring back Andre Ward for the sequel and quit over thinking this. They basically set it up in the first movie with him putting them hands on Adonis at the beginning and not getting his title shot due to a broke jaw. I don't need Adonis out here looking for Drago son in Russia for payback or some silly shyt like that.
