Scandinavian edition with a bit more details on the back about the extra featurettes:






EDIT:

Fathers & Sons - Director Steven Caple Jr. and his cast walk us through the complexity of the ghost of Apollo, the flesh and blood of Ivan Drago and the toll it takes on their respective offspring, in and out of the ring.

Casting Viktor Drago - Steven Caple Jr. and the cast share with us the choice in casting Florian Munteanu as Adonis Creed’s biggest challenge and a violent reminder of Rocky’s painful past.

The Women of CREED II - Tessa Thompson and Phylicia Rashad bring heart and soul to Steven Caple, Jr’s set, both in their performances on and off camera.

The Rocky Legacy - Hosted by Dolph Lundgren, Michael B. Jordan, Sylvester Stallone, Tessa Thompson and others, sit down and reminisce about the enduring resonance of Rocky and its evolution in Creed II.

Stalone on the short Drago / Rocky confrontation that ended up on the cutting room floor:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BuCILT2HfU_/

This was an early rehearsal for a short fight ROCKY was suppose to have with DRAGO in CREED 2 It took place in the hospital just after Adonis had been terribly beaten by Drago’s son… Adonis Is in much pain and tells me to leave ... Drago And the promoter show up with filmcrew ! They were planning on going upstairs to harass the beaten fighter but ROCKY stops them !!! It would’ve been extraordinary!, But regretfully it was cut ... Pity ...

Even though this is something that would have pleased us as fans, I'm kind of glad they didn't keep it because I don't feel it was a necessary beat and almost out of place in the overall grand scheme of the film.

Blu-ray reviews shouldn't be long before they pop up online

I really hope Brigitte gets a little break into a few movies and decent TV shows. She's cool. I've got a lot of respect for her. I remember when she was on Celebrity Big Brother about 10 years or so ago. He was pretty likeable, but the showmakers went and threw Jackie Stallone in, who was very difficult to get on with (for everyone) but at the same time, was a woman in her 80's in a difficult circumstance (which she didn't always full comprehend as far as the 'game.') Brigitte, considering such animosity with the Stallones was very kind to her. I actually think the Stallone's could have been a bit more gracious regarding that in the aftermath of the show.
