The Rocky franchise has gone in new creative directions with Michael B. Jordan in Creed and Creed II, but in the future, we could be seeing both movie series running concurrently.
Sylvester Stallone first began portraying boxing superstar Rocky Balboa in the 1976 movie Rocky.
From director Ryan Coogler, the 2015 boxing movie Creed brought in Michael B. Jordan to star as Adonis Creed, the son of Rocky’s former nemesis-turned-friend Apollo Creed.
As with Creed, Stallone’s planned Rocky sequel will see the retired boxer in the role of a trainer, passing on his expertise to a new fighter.
