Ryan Coogler had some good advice for Steven Caple Jr. before he stepped up to direct Creed 2.
Steven Caple Jr. asked Coogler why he wasn’t doing the sequel and the Black Panther director explained and then gave him some good advice in return.
Unfortunately, Ryan Coogler was not able to return to the director’s chair for Creed 2, although he wanted to.
Coogler and Caple Jr. are good friends, having attended University of Southern California’s film school together, and Caple Jr. needed to know why the Black Panther director wasn’t coming back for the sequel, which led to Coogler offering up some advice before getting in on the Rocky franchise.
