NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Rocky icon Sylvester Stallone has said leaving the franchise and not starring in Creed III was ‘regretful.’
The actor, 76, announced he was stepping away from starring as Rocky Balboa following the release of Creed II in 2018.
The upcoming third installment in the franchise will see Michael B Jordan return as Apollo Creed, and the film will also serve as his directorial debut.
While at the time it may have seemed like he was just ready to hang up his gloves, it turns out there was more to the star’s decision.
