creed 2 Foxtel Store, On Demand
Life has become a balancing act for Adonis Creed (Michael B Jordan), and now he’s getting set for the fight of his life!

Lucky, he has Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone, above with Jordan) by his side to walk him though it all in one of the most absurd plots ever invented. What’s even funnier, it all seems to work! Prepare to be knocked out – in a good way.
