We already know the grueling exercise circuit Michael B. Jordan worked to transform into Adonis Creed for Creed II. Now his archrivals in the upcoming Rocky movie have shared a powerful new clip of their punch-heavy workout.
Dolph Lundgren, who famously played Ivan Drago in Rocky IV, posted an Instagram video in which he and his on-screen son, Viktor Drago actor Florian Munteanu, trade blows to the gut.
“The Drago family’s idea of having fun,” Lundgren wrote. “I must break you, Dad!”
There’s a reason those strikes look so convincing. Munteanu, aka “Big Nasty,” is a Romanian professional boxer who Sylvester Stallone called “245 pounds of pure talent.”
And Lundgren is a legit martial artist who won two European Karate Championships long before he portrayed a deadly power puncher on the silver screen.
We’ll see if Adonis can handle Drago’s hits when Creed II arrives in theaters on November 21.
