MGM has released a new promo video for Creed II that introduces Viktor Drago, played by Florian “Big Nasty” Munteanu in the anticipated film. Munteanu is a real-life boxer from Romania.
Life has become a balancing act for Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan). Between personal obligations and training for his next big fight, he is up against the challenge of his life. Facing an opponent with ties to his family’s past only intensifies his impending battle in the ring. Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) is there by his side through it all and, together, Rocky and Adonis will confront their shared legacy, question what’s worth fighting for, and discover that nothing’s more important than family.
