'Creed III' Trailer: Michael B. Jordan Breaks It Down 

The story of Rocky Balboa lives on, but not necessarily through Creed.

At the start of the trailer, Creed is definitely on top – “I've spent the last seven years of my life living my wildest dreams,” says the champion boxer.

Flashes of himself on the cover of Forbes, and triumphant fights are some of the memories shown on screen, while his wife Bianca (Tessa Thompson),

who also has her own triumphant path in music, and daughter Amara, (Mila Davis-Kent) are by his side.

"Bianca. Rocky. My dad. I stood on their shoulders," Creed continues in the first glimpse of the highly anticipated film.

Much later, we discover the connection between Major's character, Dame, and the titular boxer we've seen — Dame has spent the last 18 years in prison, and Creed knew him as a young child.

He was also there when he was arrested, and it becomes clear that they are connected on a deeper level than old acquaintances.

We've seen Drago come out with some great enemies from both the 'Rocky' and 'Creed' series — and for that matter, his son, Clubber Lang and 'Pretty' Ricky Conlan are closing in on the ranks.
