From the director of Fruitvale Station. Jordan stars as Apollo's rising grandson, and Stallone returns as Rocky, now a trainer. I'm there opening night.

 

[Octoberist]

Wow!

 

[Soapy]

Why'd you have to die Apollo? ;_;

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

ehhhhhh...i don't know

the ending to Rocky Balboa was just perfect

 

[The Chris]

Fruitvale station is a fantastic film, and I love Rocky so much. I'm there, when are you coming out? I want this now!

 

[DarkSovereignty]

He has to fight dolph lundgren to avenge his fathers death.

 

[Stringer]

Well I'm in.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Well it's better than Rocky fighting again.

 

[cabel]

There's apparently a Rocky musical in development as well. I don't know which one to be more excited for

 

[Dr. Evil]

Does Duke need to be in this? He was Apollo's trainer to start the franchise.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

This sounds f**king awesome!

 

[SpilledInnards]

This sure came out of nowhere

 

[bullets]

This is a cool idea. It's kind of funny to read this after watching the Rocky series last week.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Oh dear lord

Just leave the Rocky franchise be already. I'd be all for it, if Stallone/Rocky weren't involved. He ended it perfectly in the last movie.

 

[Zeus]

This is a fantastic idea because Michael B Jordan is a great actor.

WALLACEEEEEEEEEE...VINCEEEEE

Cant wait actually, he has that charisma

 

[MadVillainy]

THis is hilarious to me. I like that team but this idea just makes me laugh

But Rocky shouldnt come back except for a cameo. He shouldve just let the character rest except for a cameo or something

 

[chamber-music]

He has to fight dolph lundgren to avenge his fathers death.

He should fight Dolph's characters son played by Bill Skarsgard

 

[Lord]

Now this is interesting, it's a better way to continue the series than having Rocky fight again.

 

[bullets]

This could start a whole new Rocky franchise or wind up like The NEXT Karate Kid.

That film was a success, i don't know why they didn't do a sequel.

 

[MadVillainy]

I think he means that crappy Karate Kid movie with Hilary Swank

But I do agree about the Jaden Smith movie. Im surprised they didnt make a sequel when it made such good money.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Loving this idea. Rocky I and II are two of my favorite movies and I thought Rocky Balboa was great. I'm all for seeing this.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

But I do agree about the Jaden Smith movie. Im surprised they didnt make a sequel when it made such good money.

I just think they legitmately had no idea what to do with a sequel.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I'm very much intrigued by this movie. I hope it is good.

I guess it would be too meta of me to ask that Carl Weathers star in the movie as actor Carl Weathers, shadowing Rocky to research his role as a ruthless bounty hunter named Fire.

"Rocky" is an American icon and after the 5th film failed to kill him off or propose the character into the ring, the film it fell flat on it's face. Rocky Balboa redeemed the franchise and Stallone's career. This idea for 'Creed' almost seems like an interesting way to keep the 'bloodline' of the series alive and I'm curious to see how involved Stallone stays in the making of this movie. Personally though, I'm appalled by this concept. It should just be it's own movie and exist outside the 'Rocky' series. But,
