help Creed FAQ
Is Creed a Rocky sequel or a separate boxing story?
Creed is both: it is the seventh film in the Rocky franchise and a new story centered on Adonis Creed, Apollo Creed's son. Ryan Coogler directed the 2015 film, with Michael B. Jordan as Adonis and Sylvester Stallone returning as Rocky Balboa.
Why does Adonis go to Rocky Balboa instead of another trainer?
Adonis seeks out Rocky in Philadelphia because Rocky was Apollo Creed's rival and later his close friend. That relationship gives the 2015 film its emotional hook: Adonis is trying to build his own boxing identity while carrying the Creed name.
Who is Ricky Conlan in Creed?
Ricky Conlan, played by real boxer Tony Bellew, is the champion Adonis fights in the film's climactic bout. The character gives Adonis a public test against a legitimate name rather than a simple training-montage opponent.
Do you need to watch all six Rocky movies before Creed?
You do not need every Rocky film, but watching Rocky and Rocky IV helps with Apollo Creed, Rocky Balboa, and the family legacy. Creed explains enough for new viewers, while longtime fans get extra weight from the Philadelphia setting and Rocky's history.
