The first trailer for "Creed II," the sequel to 2015's successful movie "Creed," debuted on Wednesday, and it sets up a compelling build-up to a fight for Michael B. Jordan's character Adonis Creed.
The trailer features a chopped up rendition of Kendrick Lamar's song "DNA."
Lamar's track intersperses audio and footage of Sylvester Stallone's Rocky Balbao trying to convince Creed not to fight the son of Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren), who killed Creed's father, Apollo, in a fight in "Rocky IV."
Written by Sylvester Stallone and Cheo Hodari Coker (the creator of Netflix's "Luke Cage"), and directed by Steven Caple Jr., the film is set for release on November 21.
The first "Creed" grossed $173.5 million in 2015 against an estimated budget of $35 million, and it earned Sylvester Stallone an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor.
