German-Romanian boxer Florian Munteanu will square off against Michael B. Jordan in Creed 2, MGM and Warner Bros.' sequel to the 2015 hit that updated Rocky for a new generation.

Steven Caple will direct the movie, which is set to begin shooting in March in Philadelphia.

"Creed 2" will continue to follow Adonis Creed (Jordan) both inside and outside of the ring as he deals with his newfound fame, issues with his family, and his continuing quest to become a champion. Sylvester Stallone will also reprise his role as Rocky Balboa.
