Sylvester Stallone just dropped a major hint at a possible 2018 release date forCreed 2 . The much - anticipated sequel toCreed , theRockyspin - off that bring down Stallone an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor , the motion picture is set to bring back Michael B. Jordan as Apollo Creed ’s son Adonis . After going the distance with light heavyweight champion Ricky Conlan ( boxer Tony Bellew ) in the first celluloid , it appears that Adonis will face a challenge from returningRocky IVantagonistIvan Drago(Dolph Lundgren ) .
thing have already become quite serious with Lundgren , who istraining severely to reprize his role as Dragoin some capacity forCreed 2 . Little else is sleep together about the sequel beyond the obviousRocky IVties , but affair are distinctly going well behind - the - scenes as Stallone is train to getthe photographic film into theatre of operations at some stop next class .
Stallone send a pic of himself and Jordan from aCreedtraining fit to his officialInstagrampage , hinting that 2018 will be the yearCreed 2is liberate . “Getting strong ! ! ! 2018,“the post ’s caption reads .

Stallone is reportedly do by playscript obligation forCreed 2(as he did for all previous ingress exceptCreed ) , but the picture remains without an official managing director . Coogler is unlikely to return at this point , as he getsBlack Pantherready for its Feb. 2018 release and already plans on reuniting with Jordan forWrong Answerinstead . With aRocky IV - inspired storyon dab forCreed 2 , it ’s possible that Stallone ( who directedRockysII - IVandBalboa ) ends up accept on directorial duties himself .
Rockyfans who have been patiently awaiting the sequel will be relieved to at least have some idea of when the next installing will score theaters . The movie still feels a long direction off from actually being made , but Stallone is setting a realistic destination assuming he can receive a director rather rather than subsequently .
Those who are n’t as doting ofRocky IV ’s more cheesy component may be concerned how returning to that well could anguish theCreedsequel - the first pic feel like a breathing place of new air , and doing something as giddy could counteract the earth Coogler built - but Stallone ’s been with the franchise long enough to love what will work better . No matter what directionCreed 2takes , it ’s at least becoming exonerated we ’ll get it soon .
