Sylvester Stallone Retires From Rocky Balboa Role
- Thread starter Bor Gullet
- Start date
He was done with Rocky and It took Coogler a couple of years to convince him to make Creed. I think he's done for good now.
And he's not dying. Never gonna happen and nobody wants to see that.
He's gotta fight his hitherto unknown brother from another mother first after he emerges from the shadows to take the title and the name Creed for himself. After that its time for him to get soft and go up against Clubber Lang's clone.
Rocky needs to be killed by a perfect clone of himself in his prime and then Adonis has to fight him to save professional boxing from an unbeatable champion. Then original Rock comes to Adonis in a vision after he's been knocked out for the third time in a row and gives him the ultimate pep talk along with his dad while Eye of the Tiger plays in the background and Paulie burns in Hell.
Well, maybe offscreen during the film, but not between movies like Adrian and Paulie.
I think that's exactly what happens. Either the character is just not shown, or they have something for him if there is a new film beyond his death.
I'm fine with this.
Now just give Stallone the Oscar this time around to finally cap off the role.

yeah, I thought too. It would have been poetic.
I hope he gets a send-off in Creed 3 at least. He can't just disappear like that.
Easy. God damn I guess that creed 2 ending was forreal then
Love that series but I dont really know how much I will like it without rocky. The best things about both flicks was the charming dynamic between Balboa, arguably the most likeable franchise character of all time, and Donny
He'll come back and they'll kill off Rocky for a historic cinematic gut punch. I can't imagine them doing something like that offscreen. Honestly they could bookend the series with that move alone or decide to try and do a 4th one.
Considering the themes of Creed and Creed 2, the obvious place to go in Creed 3 is Donnie having to win without his surrogate father in his corner. It's his last real obstacle as a character. Rocky's death would have to be the only way to get there, and while it could be done offscreen, I would personally like to see a mirror to the scene in Rocky 3 when Rocky loses his mentor, because Stallone sells the hell out of that scene and MBJ would, too.
I'm sorry but just from a series standpoint, Rocky should die next film. There isn't much wiggle room beyond that.
I will assume they'll kill him off early in the next movie. They can't just disappear him.
And god as a fanboy of Rocky 4 even moreso than Rocky 3...I LOVE CREED 2. It brought me straight back to like 5th grade when Rocky 4 first came out and it was a perfect sequel to that movie.

I can't wait till 2030 when its Michael B jordans Kid in creed, who has to starting fighting in underground fight clubs on twitch and rocky is coaching via youtube videos
I initially wanted it after the first Creed but now I think an off screen death would be best, at his sons house. But I want one last scene with him and Donny at the least. Be it in training or at dinner or some shit
