Sylvester Stallone shares excerpts and ideas for cancelled Rocky7.
Sylvester Stallone is undeniably synonymous with his on-screen counterpart Rocky Balboa. The career-defining role saw Stallone portray hard-on-his-luck Rocky on his heartbreaking journey to becoming a champion boxer. Depicting the working-class man in full form and offering fresh optimism for those struggling under the weight of real-life woes, Rocky always resonated more for the fight outside of the ring.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY In an Instagram post, Stallone shared artwork from Rocky artist John Rivoli which depicts his titular character in his signature fedora. Branded with Rocky's signature triumphant phrase the slogan reads, "it ain't over till it's over." Alongside the image, Stallone shared a string of handwritten notes with what appears to be various ideas and scenes for the venture.
Explaining the pages, Stallone wrote: "This was the beginning EXCERPTS of screenplay for ROCKY 7, sadly because certain individuals, it will never happen, but it’s something I want to share with the diehard fans. Always Keep punching. Painting by @john_rivoli. #Irwinsfault." In a second post, Stallone added: "Part two I know it’s confusing, but I think you get the idea. Rocky was back trying to fight for the neighborhood that made him and that he still loves.
Despite starring in the first two Creed films alongside Michael B. Jordan, which saw him effectively mentor Adonis in place of his father, Stallone will not be returning for the third reprisal. Citing a different vision for the character, he explained: "I wish them well, but I’m much more of a sentimentalist. I like my heroes getting beat up, but I just don’t want them going into that dark space. I just feel people have enough darkness.
Regardless of what happens next and whether Rocky 7 will ever see the light of day, one thing is clear, Stallone's legacy will reign for decades to come - as it should. You can read the excerpts below.
