In Creed II aka Rocky VIII Adonis Creed goes up against Viktor Drago, son of Ivan Drago who killed Creed's pops in Rocky IV. You'd think we'd be well beyond the saturation point on these movies by now but dang it the formula still works, our hero must battles his demons outside the ring to win within it, and it feels good when he does. I really like Tessa Thompson, she is one of the most welcome new faces on film in the last five years. Sylvester Stallone can also still bring on the charm. All that being said I don't think there is any pressing need for a Creed III, I feel Adonis' arc is mostly closed, but maybe wait a decade and there might be more to say. ***
