Sylvester Stallone comments on the direction he would have taken Creed3
Actor Sylvester Stallone has been quite vocal about not having any ownership of his creation, the Rocky franchise. The titular character of the iconic movies was created by the actor in 1976, when the movie went on to land ten Academy Award nominations, won three, and spurred many spin-offs that are relevant four decades later. The upcoming Creed III, directed and starred in by Michael B Jordan, will mark the first feature sans Stallone.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY In the same post, he also name-dropped his friend and Drago actor Lundgren, but revealed that the two have made up since. He further argued that it was a classic case of the producers “going around and trying to continually cherry-pick aspects of Rocky without even asking me if I want to join in.” Adding, “I’m not an executive producer on the Creed movies. [Director] Ryan Coogler is. [Star] Michael B. Jordan is. [Winkler and Chartoff’s] children are. Not mine.
The glory of the Rocky franchise can be completely attributed to Stallone, who wrote and starred in the Academy-award-winning original movie that spun into a trilogy. He made a return to the Creed franchise to reprise his role but was dissatisfied with not having any control over it. He calls his absence from the upcoming feature a “regretful situation,” as in his head it could have been a different thing.
