The Rocky franchise is as legendary as its protagonist: Rocky Balboa. Sylvester Stallone has appeared as the protagonist in 6 Rocky movies and as the deuteragonist in two movies of the Rocky spin-off franchise, Creed.

Creed 2 ended with Rocky traveling to Vancouver in order to make peace with his son and meet his grandson for the first time, which would be a fitting end to his story. But is it the end?
Creed 3 Without Stallone?
The successful Creed franchise, is going to get a third movie, which is currently being written by Zach Baylin (King Richard). But it seemingly won’t include Stallone’s character. On Instagram, Stallone referred to the latest entry being a conclusion to his character arc by saying:
“Well, I believe in the film, that’s possible, yes. But I never say no to [to a Rocky sequel], because I have a couple of ideas.”
Stallone recently pitched the idea of another Rocky sequel, one that does not involve Michael B. Jordan’s Adonis Creed, and would instead introduce another young protagonist in a relevant southern border narrative.
