'Creed' Movie News: New Trailer Released For 'Rocky' Spinoff Film [VIDEO]

Warner Bros. Pictures has recently released the first trailer for their 'Rocky' spin-off film 'Creed,' starring Michael B. Jordan.

This movie takes place in the same universe as the 'Rocky' films, however it focuses on the character Adonis Johnson, son of Apollo Creed in the present day. The film will pretty much serve as a coming of age for the young son of the famous boxer, but viewers can still expect to see actor Sylvester Stallone in his iconic role as a supporting character.

'Creed' will be directed by 'Fruitvale' director Ryan Coogler.

Here's the movie's full synopsis:

"From Warner Bros. Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures comes award-winning filmmaker Ryan Coogler's "Creed." The film explores a new chapter in the "Rocky" story and stars Academy Award nominee Sylvester Stallone in his iconic role. The film also reunites Coogler with his "Fruitvale Station" star Michael B. Jordan as the son of Apollo Creed.

"Adonis Johnson (Jordan) never knew his famous father, world heavyweight champion Apollo Creed, who died before he was born. Still, there's no denying that boxing is in his blood, so Adonis heads to Philadelphia, the site of Apollo Creed's legendary match with a tough upstart named Rocky Balboa.

Once in the City of Brotherly Love, Adonis tracks Rocky (Stallone) down and asks him to be his trainer. Despite his insistence that he is out of the fight game for good, Rocky sees in Adonis the strength and determination he had known in Apollo-the fierce rival who became his closest friend. Agreeing to take him on, Rocky trains the young fighter, even as the former champ is battling an opponent more deadly than any he faced in the ring.

"With Rocky in his corner, it isn't long before Adonis gets his own shot at the title...but can he develop not only the drive but also the heart of a true fighter, in time to get into the ring?"

The film is set to be released on November 25.
