A Rocky prequel may not be that good of an idea.
Sylvester Stallone still seems keen on the idea of exploring a Rocky prequel, but that could risk diminishing the impact of the first Rocky movie. In several interviews, Sylvester Stallone has openly talked about how much he wants to create a prequel TV show that walks through Rocky's life long before he lands the opportunity to fight Apollo Creed. During a recent one , Sylvester Stallone even teased that he has already started penning its script, with a few pages out of the way.
The prequel can give a glimpse of how Rocky always had some potential for greatness, but it still cannot go as far as the first Rocky movie in capturing a full-fledged transformation that takes him from obscurity to prominence. While the idea of a Rocky show delving into the character's morally ambiguous past sounds intriguing, it runs the risk of undermining or complicating the character's established heroic image in the Rocky films.
