it's over over till it's over where's that from the ' 80s it's probably in the 70s Sylvester Stallone has been working hard to bring us Rocky 7 for quite some time and it looks like it might finally happen after Creed 3 Let's dive into what we know about the upcoming movie Sylvester Stallone's Rocky 7 is looking more likely after Creed 3 and there are good reasons for the franchise to continue Michael B Jordan has taken the lead in the Creed series gaining popularity with the success of the trilogy centered around Adonis Creed in Creed 3
Sylvester Stallone's Rocky baloa was not part of the story a departure from the earlier six Rocky films despite his absence questions about Rocky's life were sparked by the movie's plot generating increased curiosity among audiences for Stallone's return if Sylvester Stallone is to play Rocky Balboa again it's likely to happen in Rocky 7 despite hurdles this seems to be the best chance forced alone who has expressed his disinterest in playing Rocky as a supporting character in Creed 4 or any spin-offs shouldn't you be thinking about something else wise guy hey go prove it now go get
your Mustang back Creed 3 success could pave the way for Stallone's return in Rocky 7 fulfilling his longstanding desire to continue the Italian Stallion Story the notion of Rocky 7 has been around for years originating after the surprising success of Rocky Balboa in 2006 the film received positive reviews and performed well at the box office signaling a potential Revival for the rocky franchise serious talks about Rocky 7 gained momentum after the Creed movies successfully rejuvenated the series however the main obstacle preventing Rocky 7 from materializing has been the complications involving franchise producer Irwin Winkler Winkler
holds some writes to Rocky Balboa's character but his strained relationship with Stallone over the years has been a significant roadblock Stallone has accused Winkler of hindering the development of Rocky 7 claiming that the producer halted the project when asked to share in its financial success despite Winkler's control over Rocky's rights efforts are being made to work on the film with hopes that the issues can be resolved for the project to move forward eventually the possibility of Rocky 7 happening after Creed 3 is closely tied to Amazon's interest in expanding the franchise Amazon has already announced
plans for Creed 4 and is exploring various spinoffs including an anime series while these projects are centered around Michael B Jordan's character it would be a missed opportunity for Amazon not to leverage Sylvester Stallone's Rocky Balboa further Stallone has hinted at a potential show exploring Rocky's origin but a larger and more impactful move would be the creation of Rocky 7 starring Sylvester Stallone the encouraging news is that whenever Rocky 7 comes to fruition Stallone already has the story meticulously planned development began in 2019 and Snippets of the narrative have been revealed forming the basis for
the screenplay the film is designed to hearken back to the rocky franchises Roots focusing on Balboa's immigrant background Rocky encounters Chucho the mut a young foreign boxer stuck in America illegally and the story delves Into the bond that develops between between them additionally it sheds light on how rocky copes with Adrienne's death given that much of the narrative is already outlined the movie could potentially come together relatively quickly another compelling reason for Sylvester Stallone to return to Rocky 7 is that Rocky Balboa's role in the Creed movies has concluded the first two films showcase the
strong bond between Rocky and Adonis but Creed 2 concluded with them parting ways Rocky's Creed story line wrapped up with him heading to van couver to spend time with his son Robert Balboa Jr and his family having fulfilled his purpose in adonis's life by training him to become a champion and with Adonis now retired a significant motivation for Rocky's return has diminished Sylvester Stallone's absence in Creed 3 serves as a strong indicator that Rocky 7 is more likely to come to fruition after this movie it suggests that there may not be a significant role forced
Stallone in the ongoing spin-off franchise having return in Creed 4 might feel forced considering the character would have missed key life events such as maryanne's death and Adonis reentering the ring leading to potential confusion on the other hand Stallone's involvement in Rocky 7 would offer a natural way to delve into more aspects of the character's life and place him back at the center of the narrative the occurrence of Rocky 7 following Creed 3 could also provide an opportunity for the franchise to address lingering questions about Rocky Balboa the film might reintroduce some characters from Rocky's
past and resolve storylines between them and Balboa for instance it could explore the strained relationship between Rocky and Robert Balboa Jr Bridging the Gap between Rocky Balboa and Creed 2 properly delving into their falling out becomes crucial particularly as Rocky has formed a close father-son bond with Adonis additionally Rocky 7 storyline could be timely especially in the aftermath of maryanne's death in Creed 3 Sylvester Stallone envisions exploring how rocky continues to process adrien's death while Rocky might have believed he had properly grieved and moved on over the years learning about the passing of Apollo Creed's
wife and adonis's adopted mother could bring forth suppressed emotions related to his own wife's demise this unintentional connection to Creed 3 could give Rocky 7even a poignant link and offer an explanation for Stallone's absence in the earlier film Rocky 7 holds the potential to pave the way for additional spin-offs on Amazon especially considering the introduction of the new fighter Chucho the mut whom Rocky assists in training if Rocky 7 effectively portrays the bond between the two characters and generates genuine audience affection for Chucho it creates an opportunity for him to have his own spin-off Amazon
could explore a new franchise spin-off similar to Creed focusing on the Mexican boxer and potentially allowing him to inter SE with characters like Felix Chavez in the future the film's success in building a compelling narrative for Chucho could open avenues for further storytelling within the rocky Universe on the streaming platform creating Rocky 7 after Creed 3 provides an opportunity to bring closure to Rocky Balboa's character Arc Sylvester Stallone has witnessed multiple pseudo endings for Rocky throughout the film series with Rocky 5 Rocky Balboa and Creed 2 all presenting potential conclusions to the Italian stallions Journey
despite these attempts Stallone has returned for more Rocky 7 has the potential to serve as the definitive farewell for Stallone's iconic character offering Rocky Balboa a proper and conclusive goodbye in addition Stallone has explored expanding the rocky Universe through other mediums in July 2019 he revealed ongoing discussions about a rocky prequel television series intended for a streaming service although there were hesitations from film series producer Irwin Winkler due to concerns about adapting the story for television Stallone began working on the script for a prequel series set in the 1960s despite facing complications the project gained
traction when Amazon acquired MGM identifying the rocky franchise as a valuable asset Stallone's prequel script previously rejected is now back in development thanks to Amazon's involvement the streaming Giant in intends to expand the franchise with various projects including Stallone's prequel series with the actor expected to play a role in its development Stallone's collaborative contract with Balboa Productions MGM and Amazon Studios further solidifies the commitment to exploring various television and film projects within the rocky Universe this broader storytelling approach aligns with the potential for Rocky 7 to provide a fitting and conclusive end to Stallone's portrayal
