Michael B. Jordan still has another blockbuster on the way after the immense success of Black PantherCreed 2—the sequel to Jordan and Ryan Coogler's last collaboration—is coming, and Sylvester Stallone shared a fan made poster in advance of the film's official poster.

Coogler will shift roles for the sequel as he sits in the executive producer seat. Steven Caple Jr. is taking over for Ryan Coogler as director for Creed 2, although it was previously speculated that Sylvester Stallone would be at the helm. Michael B. Jordan hopped on Twitter last December to announce the news, as well as the November 21 release date.

Excited for Coogler to hand over the reins to Steven Caple, Jr. - our director for Creed 2! Can’t wait to bring you guys the next chapter of our story ... coming at you November 2018. 👊🏾👊🏾 #Creed2

In addition to the director shake up, Creed 2 is coming back with a plot twist. Dolph Lundgren's Ivan Drago is returning along with his son Drago Jr. (played by Romanian boxer Florian Munteanu). The IMDB page for the film says that, "Under the tutelage of Rocky Balboa, newly crowned light-heavyweight champion Adonis Creed faces off against Viktor Drago, the son of Ivan Drago."
