That all changed when director Ryan Coogler brought the idea of Creed to Stallone, and the results earned Stallone an Academy Award nomination.
If not, Stallone is plenty familiar with this franchise, so fans will have to wait and see what he delivers.
Sylvester Stallone has confirmed that he will direct Creed 2. Stallone’s breakout role in cinema was as the fearless professional boxer Rocky, and he’s done his best to keep the legacy going.
As competent as Stallone is behind the camera, fans of Creed will undoubtedly be disappointed to learn that Coogler is not returning.
