While Creed was an excellent spin-off from the main Rocky films, the decision to give it a sequel was still somewhat surprising. After all, there aren't THAT many directions the film can go without essentially just remaking the Rocky formula and having Adonis Creed fight his way to the top with increasingly difficult opponents.

But the one thing that justifies the film's existence (aside from the quality of Sylvester Stallone and Michael B Jordan's performances) is the reunion of Creed, Balboa and one Ivan Drago. Quite how that will play out remains to be seen, but it seems likely that we'll get to see some sort of redemptive, climactic fight between Drago (or more likely a second generation fighter) and Creed, with the death of his father burning in his heart.

That's the kind of emotion that made the best Rocky films so beloved, and it's bound to be a compelling watch.
