Creed II: Discussing Potential Plot Points.



Potential Plot for Creed II

With the success of Creed and Sylvester Stallone receiving a Golden Globe, we can almost guarantee that there will be a sequel.  If there is (and I hope there will be), what’s going to happen? Have no fear because I have formulated a series of scenarios that ultimately will make Creed 2 a cinematic triumph.

Have Adonis fight the #1 contender (Danny "Stuntman" Wheeler") that knocked him out earlier in the movie

We all know that Adonis only got that title shot fight because the current champ broke the jaw of the #1 contender.  Who’s to say that if the two fought, Danny would beat the champ and take the title. With the intimidation factor of being knocked out and possibly being the better fighter, Adonis would be in for the fight of his life.

Bring in some drama from Apollo’s biological children with his wife Mary Ann
In the entire series of the Rocky franchise the only time Apollo’s children have been referenced was in Rocky II. In the meeting where Apollo said he won the fight against Rocky but didn’t beat him, he said that his kids were being teased at school. There’s a scene before that that shows his children (a boy and girl) running through his house. They looked about 7 or 8 and that was back in 1979, so they would be significantly older than Adonis.  Have them be the bad guys, where they only care about money and didn’t care at all about their father or mother.  Perhaps they were disowned by Mary Ann and the rest of the Creed family for getting into drugs because they couldn’t handle the death of Apollo. Either way, bringing them into Creed II would be very interesting.

Have Ivan Drago’s son fight in the contest for the title
Wouldn’t you want to see Adonis fight the son of the man who killed his father in the ring. That would make out to be an epic fight full of blood, sweat, tears, and emotion. Have Drago’s son grow up with the roughest life possible.  Have his story start off right after the loss to Rocky in Russia. During the fight with Rocky, Drago not only lost but he also disrespected his superiors by talking back to them during the fight. This would cause him to be kicked out of the Russian military, disowned by the entire country of Russia, and become addicted to drugs (steroids). Drago, not able to find work, becomes homeless and abusive to his family. This would fuel Drago’s son to bring back honor to his family’s name and get revenge on the protégé of the man who ruined his father’s life. Now this could be saved for Creed III when Adonis would be training for the World Heavy Weight title instead of the Light Heavy Weight.

Bianca goes full blown deaf
Another obstacle that Adonis will have to conquer is dealing with and supporting his girlfriend through loss of her hearing. As stated by Bianca herself, she has progressive hearing loss that will inevitably result in her being deaf. We see this because she starts wearing hearing aids and learning sign language. This could play out well in the sequels. During the training montage for his next big fight, show Adonis learning sign language or helping Bianca get adjusted to her new deaf life.
