Boxer Florian Munteanu is officially Ivan Drago’s son in Creed 2

Sylvester Stallone just made an Instagram post, officially welcoming Romanian boxer Florian Munteanu to Creed 2. Munteanu will be joining the cast as Ivan Drago’s son and this will be his feature film debut.

It was reported a few months ago that MGM is looking for a suitable athlete to play the role of Drago’s son and UFC fighter Sage Northcutt revealed in an interview that he auditioned for the role. It started out as a rumor but now The Tracking Board and Sylvester Stallone himself have confirmed it by making an Instagram post saying:

“Congratulations to Florian ‘Big Nasty’ Munteanu for getting the part as IVAN DRAGOS son! 27 years old, 6 feet four, 245 pounds of talent.#mgm #creed #creed2.”
