ROCKY Balboa is back.

Sylvester Stallone is bringing his iconic character back to the big screen for the seventh time in the upcoming movie, Creed, and just quietly, the trailer looks awesome.

The latest film in the franchise focuses on Adonis Johnson, the son of Rocky’s former rival turned friend, Apollo Creed, who died in Rocky IV.

According to the movie’s synopsis, “Adonis Johnson (who will be played by Michael B. Jordan) never knew his famous father 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 ... Rocky Balboa.

“Adonis tracks Rocky down and asks him to be his trainer. 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?”
