The Role: The son of Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren), the man responsible for killing Adonis Creed's (Michael B. Jordan) father decades prior. Viktor will battle Adonis in a son vs. son grudge match for the ages.

Why You Should Be Excited: Though it's certainly possible that Creed II could overdo it on the nostalgia front and end up another cheeseball Rocky sequel, there is an undeniable allure to bringing Ivan Drago back and building on his legacy by throwing his progeny into the mix.

Florian Munteanu is a real-life Romanian boxer and certainly fits the physical requirements of the role. It remains to be seen how much of an actor he is, but much like his screen daddy in Rocky IV, he'll probably do most of his speaking with his body and his fists.

Regardless of how the character turns out, the fan curiosity is undeniable.
