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.
What do you think? Do you have any other ideas for Creed II?
