Dig Into ‘Creed’ With A New Featurette!

Briefly: Creed looks awesome. That was pretty clear from the very first trailer.

Today, Warner Bros. debuted a brand new featurette that takes us inside the film, and also highlights just how freaking emotional it is.

Michael B. Jordan looks looks to have a pretty unbelievable performance as Adonis Johnson, and (based on the marketing) it looks like this one may be quality enough to make us forget that he was in Fantastic Four (eh, maybe not).

Not sure what Creed’s about? here’s the heavy synopsis.

Adonis Johnson (Jordan) never knew his famous father, world heavyweight champion Apollo Creed, who died before he was born.  Still, there’s no denying that boxing is in his blood, so Adonis heads to Philadelphia, the site of Apollo Creed’s legendary match with a tough upstart named Rocky Balboa.

 

Once in the City of Brotherly Love, Adonis tracks Rocky (Stallone) down and asks him to be his trainer.  Despite his insistence that he is out of the fight game for good, Rocky sees in Adonis the strength and determination he had known in Apollo—the fierce rival who became his closest friend.  Agreeing to take him on, Rocky trains the young fighter, even as the former champ is battling an opponent more deadly than any he faced in the ring.

 

With Rocky in his corner, it isn’t long before Adonis gets his own shot at the title…but can he develop not only the drive but also the heart of a true fighter, in time to get into the ring?

Take a look at the featurette below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to Creed! Creed his theatres on November 25th!
