The first poster for Creed II, the sequel to 2015's well-reviewed Rocky spinoff, has arrived and it's as dramatic and awesome as expected.

The poster features Adonis Creed as played by Michael B. Jordan standing tall and hella buff in gloves and striped shorts reminiscent of his character's father Apollo from the Rocky movies, with the sequel's "II" in the background.

Along with the poster came a synopsis of the movie, which will feature Adonis Creed facing off against the son of Ivan Drago, the Rocky character who killed his father Apollo in Rocky IV.

Unlike the first Creed, Creed II has a screenplay by Rocky writer and star Sylvester Stallone and will be directed by Steven Caple Jr. Creed II is due out November 21.
