Since Toronto’s Queen Alexandra Middle School created a Creed-inspired banner as an art project, director and actors of the upcoming Rocky sequel decided to show their appreciation and pay a visit to the young ones.
Over 250 students gathered for an unexpected ceremony in which they all received foam boxing gloves. Director Ryan Coogler was then welcomed to the stage followed by Fantastic Four actor Michael B. Jordan and Selma actress Tessa Thompson.
The trio then surprised the school with a $5,000 cheque for their fundraising program and signed the banner that will be displayed at the school indefinitely.
