Meanwhile, Sylvester Stallone, who returns as Creed’s mentor, Rocky Balboa, reveals that his character spends much of the movie worried about what is at stake.

“Adonis feels like he should avenge his father but Rocky is afraid that history is going to repeat itself,” he says.

Now that Adonis Creed has become a father, he has a whole new kind of motivation behind him as he attempts to battle his biggest adversary yet.

“He has a daughter now who he has to come back to because he’s not going to repeat his father’s mistakes,” he says. “It’s very emotional. The action is there, the fights are there…I think we found the right combination.”
