In the center of the plot again will be a boxer Adonis creed (Michael B. Jordan), trying to balance between personal obligations and preparation for his next fight, which will be the biggest challenge in his life. The face-to-face encounter with an opponent closely tied to the creed family's past only heightens the tension in the ring. Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) is still close to Adonis, and together they will face their common heritage, understand what is worth fighting for, and realize that there is nothing more important than family.

In addition, in the "Creed 2" is expected to return Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren) ‒ the character of one of the most popular paintings of the cycle, "rocky IV", once killed the father of the protagonist Apollo creed. Sylvester Stallone not only re-embodied the image of rocky Balboa, but also acted as a writer / producer of the sequel. The role of the son of Ivan Drago named Vitor Drago performs Romanian boxer Florian "Big Nasty" Munteanu, and Tessa Thompson again played the beloved creed Jr., singer Bianca.

For the production of sports drama meets Stephen Maple ml. ("promised Land","Class"). The Director of the first part Ryan Kugler this time was limited to a position of the producer because of employment with "a Black Panther".
