Viktor Drago is getting a spinoff movie after his return in Creed 3, and the movie already introduced the most exciting villain choice for Drago.
The spinoff movie can finally answer who would win a fight between Viktor and Felix Chavez after Creed 3 could not. Making Felix Chavez Drago's villain would be a chance for the franchise to actually deliver the fight that Creed 3 had to skip. Creed 3 offers plenty of teases about how skilled each boxer is, making a potential fight between Felix and Viktor all the more tantalizing. Creed 3 boxer Felix Chavez could be Viktor's opponent in the Drago spinoff movie. That is why Viktor's injury had to happen so Dame could get the title fight against Felix and ascend through the boxing world after nearly killing him. It also is a natural way for Felix Chavez to return after Creed 3 and have more of his story told as he's positioned to be Viktor's opponent.
