Stallone Reveals Epic “Creed 2” Poster With Ivan Drago and Son!

Image Leave a comment

If you weren’t excited about Creed 2 yet (and who wouldn’t be?!), get ready to be more pumped than Rocky training like a beast in the Russian wilderness.

Busy as ever Sir Sylvester of Stallone has been working away on two sequels to a pair of the largest franchise films of his career- Expendables 4 and of course, Creed 2. Case in point, Stallone has been mighty generous keeping fans updated with the progress of both films using the wonderful world of social media. Via Sly’s official Instagram, the first (non-theatrical) poster for Creed II has been revealed and it is the most glorious thing you’ll see all day.

Co-writer and co-star in the sequel from Ryan Coogler’s 2015 massive hit that follows the son of Apollo Creed (Michael B. Jordan) and his journey into the boxing world, Stallone has recruited long-time friend and one-time Rocky opponent Dolph Lundgren to return as the “Siberian Bull”, Ivan Drago. In the sequel, Adonis (Jordan) is looking to settle an old score with the man who killed his father in the ring. And it looks like that revenge might be taken out on Drago’s son, played by real-life Romanian boxer Florian “Big Nasty” Munteanu. Of course, Sly has hinted that Rocky himself, may get to lay a punch on good ole’ “Death From Above” as well.

I’m ok with every bit of this.

Here at Nightmare Nostalgia, we’re all about those retro titles getting the sometimes much needed, HD treatment. Well, thanks to MVD Entertainment and its launched MVD Rewind collection we get not just any ole’ special edition but THEE  definitive edition of BLACK EAGLE.

SYNOPSIS: After an F-11 gets shot down over the Mediterranean Sea, The U.S. government cannot afford to lose the top-secret laser tracking device that was on board. But unfortunately, the KGB team lead by the infamous Andrei (Jean-Claude Van Damme, The Expendables 2, Universal Soldier) are beating the CIA in the race to find it. The CIA has no choice but to call in their best man, master martial-artist Ken Tani (Sho Kosugi, Ninja Assassin, Revenge of the Ninja), code name… BLACK EAGLE. In response, the KGB resorts to an all-out war, with powerful Andrei matching Ken blow for blow. From legendary action director Eric Karson (The Octagon), Black Eagle also stars Doran Clark (The Warriors), Bruce French (Jurassic Park III) and William Bassett (House of 1000 Corpses).

A Queens-bound Prince Akeem along with his smart-ass sidekick Semmi will be available for purchase as a double pack.
