Nearly forty years after Rocky earned him two Oscar nominations, Sylvester Stallone will be reprising his iconic boxing character later this year in the Rocky spin-off, Creed.
But this time Rocky Balboa will be outside the ring - serving as a trainer and mentor to the son of his first opponent Apollo Creed.
Actor Michael B. Jordan takes the lead as Adonis Creed, son of Apollo, who was played by Carl Matthews in the original 1976 movie.
The film's first trailer sees the young fighter at the beginning his boxing career, seeking out Balboa's help in the build-up to a big fight.
"This guy here. That's the toughest opponent you're ever going to have to face," Balboa says to Creed as the two stare into a mirror.
