Sylvester Stallone has come up with some brilliant ideas for a potential Rocky prequel, but for many reasons, their execution almost seems impossible.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Sylvester Stallone has some compelling ideas for a Rocky prequel but executing them may be an impossible feat. Expanding the Rocky franchise in a whole new direction, the Creed movies did an incredible job at recreating the boxing-centric passion, drama, and action that drove the original movies.
Although Sylvester Stallone did not return for Creed 3, it seems like he is not done with the sports movie franchise just yet. In an Instagram post, Sylvester Stallone opened up about how he has mapped out a prequel show for the Rocky movies that would add more backstory to the titular character's overarching narrative. On paper, Stallone's ideas are promising, but their practical implementation can lead to several complications.
In his Instagram post, Sylvester Stallone also added that the prequel show would walk audiences through Rocky's journey through adulthood while major world events like the Vietnam War, John Kennedy's Assassination, and Muhammad Ali's rise to fame unfold in the background. These revelations surrounding Stallone's ideas for the prequel Rocky show further cement that it would have the potential to replicate the success of other successful reboots like Cobra Kai.
Recasting Rocky Balboa Is Not Worth The Potential Prequel Plan Sylvester Stallone has been the leading character in all six Rocky movies. Even in the Creed series, he appeared as the supporting character in two of three films. Since Sylvester Stallone has already donned Rocky's boxing gloves in eight movies, it is hard to imagine someone else playing the role.
