If the date pans out, the sequel would drop precisely two years after the firstCreedinstallment.

That movie is due in theaters February 2018.

I know Ryan is going to be gone for a couple years, the actortold Varietyrecently.

Theres a diminishing time acceptance of a sequel.

As for Jordan, it sounds as though hes open to the idea of lacing up the gloves again.

Especially the way it ends off, its pretty cool.

An MGM spokesperson did not immediately respond to request for comment.
