In Creed II, what is the first name of Ivan Drago's son?

The story behind the answer

In Creed II, Ivan Drago’s son is named Viktor.

Viktor Drago is played by Romanian boxer Florian Munteanu. The character is introduced as a powerful Ukrainian heavyweight whom Ivan has trained relentlessly after the events of Rocky IV. His challenge to Adonis Creed revives the rivalry between the Drago and Creed families.

The name can be confused with Ivan’s first name or with other Slavic-sounding choices such as Dmitri and Nikolai. Viktor is also not the same character as Ivan Drago, Dolph Lundgren’s Soviet-era boxer from Rocky IV.

Creed II uses Viktor’s story to shift the focus from revenge to parenthood. During the rematch, Ivan eventually throws in the towel to protect his son, choosing Viktor’s safety over the approval of the Russian spectators.
