Creed! Next Rocky Balboa movie!
He'll be playing Apollo Creed's son in the next Rocky movie!....Looks like Rocky will finally not be fighting (which makes sense, thoguh I really hope we get to see him punch out SOMEONE at SOME point in the next trilogy of the saga). But Rocky is becoming Mickey, more or less, which I think is awesome, why shouldn't he?
What do you think Michael B jordon's weight class will or should be? I'm thinking Lt. HW, Cruiser.....I doubt he can do Heavyweight at this point, but Lt. Heavy and Cruiser has a *beep* of talent and great fighters (I'm 6"3 and fought both at 205-220 and 180-195 and did SO MUCH BETTER at Cruiser, and to think that's where Rocky Balboa woulda been these days, Rocky 3 he was 185, actually he was even lower in real life, like 175), anyway....
I think Michael B Jordon and Stallone, if they got the right chemistry, could help keep Rocky alive and going into the 2020s for 2 more movies after this.
That'd be a hell of a legacy for Rocky Balboa, 3x world champion, trainer of a (probably 2-4x world champ or maybe a long-reigning world champ, etc.)
What do you think of them going this route? Apollo Creed himself will be featured in flashbacks and Carl weathers could be featured via CGI, make-up over his body, the dude is still in amazing shape so.... (for other flashbacks outside of what the first four movies caught)
