In a recent interview, Dolph Lundgren, known for his iconic role as Ivan Drago in Rocky IV, has shared some exciting details about the planned Drago spinoff movie in the Rocky franchise. Lundgren reprised his role as Drago in the 2018 legacy sequel Creed II, where he trained his son Viktor to take down Adonis Creed, played by Michael B. Jordan, and become the new World Heavyweight Champion.
While Lundgren's character was absent in Creed III, it has been revealed that Drago is still in development. During the interview, Lundgren confirmed that the script for the spinoff, titled Drago, revolves around his character and his son. He explained that the delay in the movie's progress was due to the success of Creed III, which prompted the studio to focus on developing a sequel to it.
