He also finds a love interest in Bianca, an up-and-coming singer and songwriter. It was chosen by National Board of Review as one of the top ten films of 2015. For his performance, Stallone was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, his first Academy Award nomination since the original film.
From February 24–27 and then on March 3, filming took place at Sun Center Studios in Aston Township. Creed has been primarily described as alternative metal, post-grunge, and hard rock. Creed also has been categorized, but less frequently, as nu metal, alternative rock, grunge and heavy metal. In June 2015, while promoting his second solo album Cauterize, Mark Tremonti claimed in an interview with Kerrang that he “[hasn’t] been a close friend of Scott’s in 9 years”. The other members did not speak to Stapp throughout the South American Tour in 2012 and plans for their fifth studio album were shelved, and they continued to work with Myles Kennedy in Alter Bridge.
He travels to Philadelphia, where Rocky (Mr. Stallone, as if that needed saying) is running a restaurant and keeping a low profile. He’s all done with boxing, but Adonis persuades him to give it one more try. They start training, and before long a shot at the title materializes, a classic mismatch with a British brawler named Ricky Conlan . Like Rocky himself almost 40 years earlier, Adonis is a designated tomato can for a superior fighter. Mr. Jordan plays a talented light-heavyweight whose rapid ascent in the sport is fueled by an identity crisis. The love child of Apollo genifique, Rocky’s erstwhile nemesis and eventual best friend, the young man is unsure whether to embrace or spurn the legacy of a father he never knew.
He also gets an achingly beautiful and subtle commentary out of brief shots of young, brown faces looking at and admiring Donnie as he trains. Like Rocky, Donnie may be a hero for all races, but these shots of young Black children add an extra dimension by showing us rare instances of African-American admiration of a hero onscreen. Mary Anne points this out in an excellent speech where she details the more unsavory aspects of living with a boxer whose body took so much punishment that he could barely perform simple tasks like walking up stairs or cleaning himself. Donnie hears her, but the clarion call of the ring carries him off to Philly to seek out his Dad’s former rival and best friend, Rocky Balboa. One need not be proficient in “Rocky” lore to appreciate “Creed,” but for those who have followed the exploits of Sylvester Stallone’s Philadelphia boxer, Ryan Coogler’s latest film pays unexpectedly rich emotional dividends.
He offers to make Donnie his final challenger—provided that he legally change his surname to Creed. The post-grunge outfit built up a massive following, which also led to backlash from critics and rock fans who perhaps didn’t appreciate the band’s righteous music or felt that singer Scott Stapp sounded a little too similar to Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder. Creed was one of the most commercially successful rock bands of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Their first three studio albums, My Own Prison, Human Clay, and Weathered, have all gone multi-platinum in the United States, selling six million, 11 million, and six million copies respectively.
Creed released two studio albums, My Own Prison in 1997 and Human Clay in 1999, before Marshall left the band in 2000. The band’s third album, Weathered, was released in 2001, with Tremonti on bass guitar. Creed disbanded in 2004; Stapp pursued a solo career while Tremonti, Marshall, and Phillips founded the band Alter Bridge with Myles Kennedy.

In 2015, Donnie is in Tijuana, preparing for his fight in an amateur boxing bout hosted in a bar. Upon returning from his latest fight, Donnie resigns from the Smith Boardley Financial Group to pursue his dream of becoming a professional boxer. Donnie auditions at Los Angeles’ elite Delphi Boxing Academy, managed by family friend Tony “Little Duke” Evers Jr., the son of Apollo’s trainer Tony “Duke” Evers, but is turned down.

Together they recorded their debut album for $6,000, which was funded by Hanson. The album, titled My Own Prison, was initially self-released on their own label, Blue Collar Records, selling 6,000 copies throughout the state of Florida. In “Halloween,” Michael Scott is ordered to fire someone and he considers , but Creed fights back and suggests Devon instead, and Devon is fired. Later in the season, it is revealed that Creed has four toes on his feet and enjoys arcade-style shooting games.
In “The Job”, Creed blogs about Pam’s speech at the beach in his “blog,” which is actually a Word document that Ryan, unwilling to expose an unprepared human race to the innermost workings of Creed’s brain, opens up on his computer. Ryan describes the things Creed writes about as shocking, “even for the Internet.” In a deleted scene, Creed is seen counterfeiting Dwight’s motivational “Schrute Bucks” and takes several 50-pound boxes of them to Dwight demanding payment. After Dwight uses an invisible ink marker to determine that they are fakes Creed tells him “Listen, Schrutey” and threatens to flood the market with the fake Schrute bucks to render them worthless. In “A Benihana Christmas,” he joins Karen and Pam’s party and performs a real song of his, “Spinnin’ N Reelin'”. Creed believes that his blog URL is \creedthoughts, but his “blog” is actually a Word document with the title expressly chosen to look like a URL, set up by Ryan Howard, wanting to “protect the world from being exposed to Creed’s brain”. Describing the content of the blog, Ryan says, “Even for the Internet, it’s pretty shocking.” NBC provided the character with an actual blog.
