30 Most Anticipated Movies For The Rest Of 2018

17. Creed II

Creed 2 Drago
Warner Bros.

Ryan Coogler's Creed was a stellar sequel/reboot, injecting new ideas and fresh blood into the Rocky franchise. The action sequences were stunning, Michael B. Jordan a great new lead, and Sly Stallone gave one of his strongest and most affecting performances to date.

Coogler sadly isn't back for this one, but if it can come close to matching the original it'll be another excellent entry. It sounds a little less serious, and instead is following in the footsteps of Rocky IV, with Adonis taking on the son of Ivan Drago. Stallone is back, as is Dolph Lundgren, while Florian Munteanu takes on the role of Viktor Drago.

It's a riskier proposition, with director Steven Caple Jr. relatively untested, but if it brings the same fun as Rocky IV it'll be a damn good time.

Release Date: November 21

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
