This week, the premiere for ‘Creed’ took place at Regency Village Theater in LA. [The film is written and directed by Ryan Coogler, co-written by Aaron Covington and produced by Sylvester Stallone. It stars Michael B. Jordan as Adonis Johnson Creed – Apollo’s son – and Stallone reprising the role of Rocky Balboa. It also features Tessa Thompson, Tony Bellew and Graham McTavish. It is the seventh Rocky film, both a spin-off from the original series and the indirect successor to 2006’s Rocky Balboa].
