Michael B. Jordan is returning to the big screen as Adonis Creed in the upcoming sequel to the Rocky spinoff, 'Creed 2,' trying to rewrite the history.

The movie also stars Sylvester Stallone and Tessa Thompson.

Fresh from his fight, the trailer shows that Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan) is all set to face his next challenger, Viktor Drago. Viktor is the son of Ivan Drago who killed Adonis' father in an exhibition match 30 years ago.

It is the sequel to 2015's 'Creed,' which earned more than $170 million at the worldwide box office.

Fans of the 'Black Panther' star went berserk over the trailer and took to Twitter to express their happiness.

A fan wrote, "They recreated the photo of Ali shadow boxing underwater. #Creed2."

Another fan wrote, "DRAGO'S SON???????? LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.'

"Chills. All we need is a training montage up a mountain w Michael B yelling at the top, "DRAGOOOOO," tweeted another fan.

The new flick is directed by Steven Caple Jr., from an original screenplay written by Stallone.

'Creed II' will hit the theatres on November 2.
