Looks like a rematch with Ricky Conlon cut through the trailer, may be a flashback though, be good to see Tony Bellew back in the Rockyverse. Viktor Drago is listed in the IMDB credits, cant see him in there though. Appears to be a 7 year jump forward, and Donny retiring, is this the final installment do we know? I think this looks good, I'm interested to see how it stands up without Stallone.

Not a bad film by any means but just missing that bit of heart that Sly got in there. eg theres a couple of moments that feel like they're meant to be inspirational speeches and they're barely noticed. It takes a good swing but just misses for me.
