On March 3, 2023, the third installment of the Rocky spin-off franchise, Creed III, will greet the fans in the theatres. Although some fans are excited to have Michael B. Jordan back on the screen, the absence of Sylvester Stallone has definitely saddened some ahead of the release of the awaited movie. Although Stallone enjoyed massive success due to Rocky, he did not have ownership of it.

Sylvester Stallone cannot leave anything for his children

Stallone, who contributed lines, promoted, choreographed, and directed the franchise, finds it ironic that he still has no rights to Rocky. In a recent interview with Variety, the actor expressed his disappointment. “Does it bother you guys that I’ve written every word, I’ve choreographed it, I’ve been loyal to you, I’ve promoted it, directed it and I don’t have 1% that I could leave for my children?” said Stallone regarding his conversation with MGM and producers of the franchise, Rocky.

Stallone went on to say how he could not work with producer Irwin Winkler anymore. Although Stallone called Michael B. Jordan a nice guy, he asserted he would not be part of a project that involved Winkler alongside.

Stallone can never watch Creed III but will work in Creed IV

Stallone, heartbroken, expressed the disappointment regarding the nefarious behavior of producer Irwin Winkler. The Rocky actor who built the franchise from scratch  stated that he could not watch Creed III. “Never. Michael B. Jordan [is] a nice guy, the studio is wonderful. But it’s just been such a real rough emotional ride, that’s all.”

Although he would not watch Creed III, Stallone supported Michael B. Jordan for his upcoming movie. According to his statement, Stallone would work with Michael B. Jordan in Creed IV if only Winkler does not play a role in it. “Now, if Michael B. Jordan and we come come up with a story, I’ll do Creed IV with him. As long as the other fellow is not involved,” said Stallone.
