Vår egen ninjagubbe Dolph Lundgren gestaltade som vi alla vet Ivan Drago i den kultklassiska 80-talsdräparen Rocky IV, en roll som gjorde honom till en massiv superstjärna. Men efter att ha blivit knockad av Balboa försvann Drago och när han nu gör storslagen comeback i kommande Creed II har Lundgren passat på att prata lite om vad som egentligen hände med karaktären efter händelserna i Rocky IV.
"Basically, my character has been in a living hell since '85 and lost everything. The script reintroduces him as a pretty damaged character, emotionally, and somebody who's suffered a lot physically from a hard life. I can identify with that quite easily. The physical part and the emotional part."
Detta handlar Creed II om:
"Life has become a balancing act for Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan). 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 (Sylvester Stallone) 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."
