Good news, Rocky fans. Creed, which is probably the best of the series and unquestionably brought the franchise back from the dead, is getting a sequel. The Creed follow-up, Rocky 8 if you're counting, is scheduled to hit theaters November 2018 -- just in time for Thanksgiving.
In case you still haven't seen the first Creed, it features the son (Adonis Creed) of Rocky Balboa's rival-turned-friend, Apollo, and his struggle to come to terms with living in his legendary father's shadow while pursuing a professional boxing career. Adonis' pops died in the ring in Rocky IV -- the one in which the "Italian Stallion" fought the roided-up Russian. And guess what? That very same Russian, who delivered the fatal punches to Apollo, will appear in Creed 2. Yep, Ivan Drago is making a return to the Rocky series.
