TSL CREED II Preview: Director Steven Caple Jr.

Caple continues the greatness of the “Creed” franchise.

When Director Ryan Coogler took the mantle for the first CREED movie, it was revolutionary that the Rocky franchise spinoff was now being helmed by a man of color. So when it was time for Creed II to be made, Coogler handed the reins to Steven Caple Jr. to continue the greatness of the series.
