Creed II (2018) follows Adonis Creed, the rising boxing star and son of the late Apollo Creed, as he faces his biggest challenge yet. After successfully winning the light heavyweight title, Adonis is confronted with the return of Viktor Drago, the son of Ivan Drago, the man who killed Apollo Creed in the ring years ago. As Adonis prepares for this highly personal and dangerous match, he grapples with the weight of his father’s legacy and the fear of losing everything, including his own life.

Amidst the physical and emotional struggles, Adonis leans on his mentor, Rocky Balboa, who initially hesitates to support him in facing the Dragos due to the painful memories of his own past. Throughout the film, themes of family, legacy, redemption, and self-identity are explored. Ultimately, Creed II is a story of growth, both in and out of the ring, as Adonis must overcome his inner demons and prove his worth as a fighter and a man.
