Dolph Lundgren will reprise his Rocky IV role of Ivan Drago in the upcoming Creed sequel, which while a somewhat amusing idea on paper, has the potential to completely derail the movie as a serious, quality follow-up.

Considering how Creed was leagues ahead of just about every Rocky movie bar the original, to see this sequel going to the well of nostalgia so blatantly is rather worrying.

It's not so much that Lundgren will give a bad performance, but simply that his presence will make it impossible to see the film as anything more than a kitschy cash-in on the goofiest of all the Rocky movies.

If Creed II is going to retain a similar tone to its predecessor, shouldn't the Drago years be left well alone?
