There is actually a script for a Drago spin off movie out there and there have been previous rumors that it was actually going to be re-tooled into Creed 2.  I recall an interview with Stallone a long time ago where he suggested that Drago, post-Rocky IV, became disillusioned with where his life had led him and that in his (Stallone’s) mind’s eye, the character of ‘Drago’ would now in theory by less of a villain and more of an anti-hero.

Another interview by the writer of the spin off movie suggests that Drago may be in theory be a man who has family connections to the mob, and ready to get out of prison himself.

The synopsis for the news movie is allegedly ‘Adonis Creed seeks revenge on the man who killed his father‘.
