In Creed, what is the name of Apollo Creed's son who asks Rocky to train him?

In Creed, Apollo Creed's son who asks Rocky to train him is Adonis Johnson.

Adonis was born after Apollo's death and initially competes under the name Adonis Johnson, using his mother's surname. Although he has a successful professional career, he seeks Rocky Balboa's help because Rocky was Apollo's former rival and closest friend.

The request creates an emotional link between the original Rocky films and the new story. Rocky is reluctant at first because Apollo died in the ring, but eventually agrees to train Adonis in Philadelphia.

Adonis later publicly embraces the surname Creed, acknowledging his father's legacy. Michael B. Jordan played the character, and the film established him as the central boxer of the Creed series. His mother, Mary Anne Creed, is portrayed by Phylicia Rashad.
