Sylvester Stallone has revealed why he brought Dolph Lundgren on board for Rocky IV. Lundgren is back as the iconic Ivan Drago for Creed 2, which hits theaters this week. However, he wasn't Stallone's first choice back in 1985. The Rocky Balboa actor met with him and then later started taking pictures together to see if he really was the best man for the job, and later gave him the role of a lifetime. Lundgren is still remembered today for his portrayal of Ivan Drago in Rocky IV.
