Adonis has big plans for the future. Read more The director of the film "Creed" Ryan Coogler does not have many works on his account. But in addition to three short films, he also directed the biographical drama "Fruitvale Station", which received a prize in the Special View category at the Cannes Film Festival, and two awards at the Sundance Film Festival. Both here and in "Creed" the main role was played by the young actor Michael B. Jordan. In his filmography, in addition to such successful series as "The Sopranos", "C.S.I. Crime Scene", "Tapping", "Doctor House" and others, there are also feature films: "Chronicle" by Josh Trank with Dane DeHaan, and "Fantastic Four" in 2015 by the same director. Sylvester Stallone also took part in the filming of the film "Creed". He requested that Michael B. Jordan wear the famous American flag boxer briefs. The same were on Apollo Creed in "Rocky", on Balboa in "Rocky 3" and "Rocky 4". The actor wanted to preserve this tradition. He admitted in an interview that he was proud to be a part of this project. Stallone liked that the creators of the film did without computer graphics, car chases and explosions to raise the saga to a new level. Principal photography began in January 2015 in England, a little later in Philadelphia.
