Premiere - Creed II : A New York World Premiere

By Mulder, New York, AMC Lowes Lincoln Square, 14 november 2018

Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures hosted the World Premiere of Creed II tonight at the AMC Lowes Lincoln Square. Guests included Director Steven Caple Jr., Michael B. Jordan, Tessa Thompson, Dolph Lundgren, Florian "The Big Nasty" Munteanu, and Sylvester Stallone.

Life has become a balancing act for Adonis Creed. Between personal obligations and training for his next big fight, he is up against the challenge of his life. Facing an opponent with ties to his family's past only intensifies his impending battle in the ring. Rocky Balboa is there by his side through it all and, together, Rocky and Adonis will confront their shared legacy, question what's worth fighting for, and discover that nothing's more important than family. Creed II is about going back to basics to rediscover what made you a champion in the first place, and remembering that, no matter where you go, you can't escape your history.
