She’s a Creed Girl

So there’s a Rocky spin-off in the works....

I know, right?

It’s titled Creed, and it will star Michael B. Jordan and, of course, Sylvester Stallone.

And...Tessa Thompson.

Indeed, the Dear White People star (who will soon be seen in Selma) has landed the female lead in the project, which will be directed by Jordan’s Fruitvale Station helmer, Ryan Coogler.

Sly will reprise his Academy Award-nominated role as Rocky Balboa in the movie, which will see him act as the trainer and mentor to the grandson of his boxing BFF, Apollo Creed.
