Creed 2
https://movieweb.com/creed-2-dolph-l...raining-video/
"It looks like a rematch more than three decades in the making is starting to really heat up. Sylvester Stallone has been teasing the return of Ivan Drago for Creed 2 over the last month or so and it is all but formally confirmed that Dolph Lundgren is going to be back. Now, the actor has shared a new video on Instagram that teases his training to get back in shape for his upcoming return to the Rocky franchise. Dolph Lundgren is currently filming Aquaman, but he is still finding time to hit the gym and get back into proper Ivan Drago shape. The character first appeared in Rocky IV, which is generally considered to be one of the best movies in the franchise. Again, it seems like everyone involved is being a little cagey, despite their not-so-subtle social media activity, and they are hoping to make some big, formal announcement at some point. As teased in his caption for the video, Lundgren is getting ready for something big. So yeah, not so subtle, but this is something that should excite Rocky fans. We still haven't been treated to exactly how Ivan Drago is going to factor into the Creed sequel, but Sylvester Stallone did recently say that he is going to throw at least one punch in Drago's direction. That is more than enough to justify bringing him into the fold. It may not be in the ring, but a Balboa vs. Drago rematch looks to be on the horizon. It's just a matter of when, which is unknown currently." |
Re: Creed 2
I'm a HUGE Rocky fan, and as a Rocky fan, I found Creed to be an okay movie, not great as critics claimed it to be. The one thing I loved most about Creed was Stallone's heart-wrenching Oscar-nominated performance (I still believe he was unjustly robbed of that Oscar win) as the ailing Rocky Balboa.
The news of Creed II is not surprising, considering the first made tons of money. The return of Drago should be exciting, especially for fans of the cheesy but adrenaline-infused and nostalgic Rocky IV. How Adonis will react to the Russian, who killed his father Apollo in the ring, will be anybody's guess, but it sure will make for a deeply emotional encounter and overall sequel. I look forward to it! |

I think I will watch Creed tonight! I've never seen it but heard decent things. And if Stallone is directing Creed II that has Drago, and he's bringing that universe in a bit more, then I am ALL FOR IT! I don't care how tonally different it will obviously be (or maybe not?), I'm still excited..

This only works if we get a throwback to some R4 one-liners. :)

Re: Creed 2
Lundgren will have to himself in shape though if he's to come back.
One thing I've noticed though is Rocky 6 and Creed, were more realistic when it came to the fights... will it work bringing Drago back into it? I mean, the Drago fights were brutal, but they were OTT. With Drago back... A more realistic fight, might not work with the character and without the OTT shotgun sound edited over each punch, it also might not work. The cartoony nature of Rocky 4, just isn't in line with modern cinema. |

Re: Creed 2
If he dies, he dies. Guessing Creed will be the one saying that lol.
Oh wait, guessing it will be Drago's son against creed on this one |
Re: Creed 2
Apparently MMA fighter Sage Northcutt sent Stallone an audition tape in hopes to possibly play Drago's son

Re: Creed 2
Any truth to the rumor that Brigitte Nielsen is playing Mom Drago?

Here is a photo taken on the set. She is even rocking the same hairdo and wearing that same white suit she wore in Rocky IV. http://www.phillychitchat.com/wp-con...-PM-Custom.jpg Also returning is Milo Ventimiglia as Rocky Jr. |
