Why Rocky Was Left Out Of Creed 3 😳 #shorts
16,332For the first time in the Rocky franchise, Sylvester Stallone will not play Rocky Balboa. However, his reasoning will make Creed 3 a better film.
Sylvester Stallone’s reason for not being in Creed 3 could actually make the film more exciting. Creed 3 is the latest installment in the Rocky franchise, but will also be the first to not star the beloved Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa. Instead, the film will focus solely on Adonis, Apollo Creed’s son, and his past that has returned to haunt him. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Stallone opened up about why he will not be starring in Creed 3.
As it turned out, Stallone decided not to return as Rocky because he was not happy about the direction that Creed 3 would take. Rather than continue with the sentimental feel of the previous films, in both the Rocky and Creed series, this film will delve into a darker place. Stallone stated, “I wish them well, but I’m much more of a sentimentalist.” While the lack of Rocky’s presence will be a difficult change for the franchise, there is a lot of potential in the new direction the series is taking.
The actor refuses to go see the latest installment in the 'Rocky' spinoff series—but he's not opposed to working with Michael B. Jordan again someday.
Although Stallone's physical presence will be missing from the film, he will still remain among the shadows, serving as a producer for Creed 3. No plot points have been revealed thus far surrounding the highly anticipated film, yet it's obvious from Stallone's decision to leave that Creed 3 will be setting itself apart from the rest of the films in the franchise.
