The first trailer has been released for Creed, the upcoming Rocky spinoff which will focus on Adonis Creed, the son of former heavyweight champion Apollo (played by Carl Weathers in the original quadrilogy).

Chronicle and Fantastic Four star Michael B. Jordan will play the young boxer in the movie. Sylvester Stallone meanwhile reprises his role as Rocky Balboa. Creed will follow Adonis after he discovers that he has a talent for boxing, leading to him tracking down Rocky and asking him to become his trainer/mentor.

When Creed was first announced, the reaction wasn’t particularly positive. However, the movie actually looks great based on this first look, and the trailer at least points to it being on of this year’s sleeper hits.

Creed was written by Ryan Coogler, and he’ll also direct. Other stars include Graham McTavish, Tessa Thompson, and Phylicia Rashad. Creed is released this November, and you can watch the trailer in the player below. What are our favourite boxing and fighting movies? Well, you can find that out by clicking right here!
