Creed 2 Trailer Reaction: 6 Ups & 3 Downs

Ups...

6. Sly Brings The Grit

Creed 2 Sylvester Stallone
Warner Bros.

Sylvester Stallone's phenomenal, Oscar-nominated performance in Creed added depth and nuance to a much-loved cinematic icon, and he once again looks to bring a ton of emotional heft with him to the sequel.

The trailer shows Rocky giving Adonis one of his classic wise talks, warning him about the dangers of facing Viktor Drago.

We don't yet know whether or not Adonis will fight Drago without Rocky by his side at any point, or if Rocky will feel obligated to use his knowledge of Viktor's father to prepare Adonis as best he can (or why not both if there are multiple fights?).

Either way, Stallone's aged grit is undeniable, and should make Rocky an easy highlight of the movie.
