Ivan and Victor, the father and son who grace the beginning of the movie.

The reason why the movie ``Creed II'' is jokingly said to be ``Rocky 4: Rocky 4'' and not ``Creed 2'' is because Dolph Lundgren played the role of Ivan Drago for the first time in 33 years. It's all about the reenactment. In ``Creed II,'' Ivan Drago, the Soviet boxer who drove protagonist Adonis' father Apollo to death in an exhibition match and later lost to Rocky in a match, reappears. Furthermore, Ivan's son Victor challenges Adonis, who has become heavyweight champion, to clear up his past grudges.

Ivan, once the pride of the Soviet Union, now lives in a cheap apartment in Ukraine, entrusting his hopes for a comeback to his son Victor, who coaches Sparta as a boxer. There is no dialogue in the opening scene where Victor is woken up from sleeping on the sofa and encouraged to go for a run. However, the clearly unhappy appearance of the father and son is contrasted with the happy appearance of Adonis, who becomes heavyweight champion and proposes to his girlfriend Bianca in the following scene. This is a very ironic depiction.

Brigitte Nielsen plays Ludmilla, who took on the most hated role.
