A sequel for the box-office success, Creed, could hit screens next year.

Variety reports that MGM CEO Gary Barber has his eyes set on a November 2017 release for the film.

“That’s my goal,” Barber said, but quickly added that no official date had been finalized.

The prospect of a sequel would reunite film stars Michael B. Jordan and recent Golden Globe award-winner Sylvester Stallone.
