The highly anticipated trailer of Creed 3 was recently released, sending boxing fans into a frenzy. It has been an extension of boxing’s most popular movie franchise, ‘Rocky’ featuring Sylvester Stallone. Syl has been the star of ‘Rocky’ in all of its movies. However, he has also played a major role in the extension as well.
In Creed, Stallone becomes the trainer of the protagonist, Michael B. Jordan, guiding him through his journey to become a champion. However, it looks like ‘Rocky’ won’t be taking part in the third installment of the franchise, as he was nowhere to be found in the trailer.

Also, the guy leaning on the car has R5 vibes in it.— IGY 🟩⬜️🟥 (@igyprince10) October 18, 2022
One fan stated that he couldn’t bear Stallone being cut off from the film, which made him lose interest in the movie altogether.
Man, I just can’t accept Sly not being on that movie! It made me lose like 90% of interst on it

Following this, one fan claimed that the movie would flop after people realize that ‘Rocky’ was not part of the film. However, it would do well among younger audiences who didn’t grow up watching the ‘Rocky’ franchise.
This gonna tank when the casual public catches wind Rocky isn’t in at all. But it will initially make some dollars off young ppl who like MBJ & Majors. Wont do well with the over 40 crowd w/o Stallone.

However, one fan felt that this would be a test of Jordan’s star power. He stated that it was now up to him to carry the movie.
I think this will be a lesson in his Jordan’s star power. Can he hold the franchise without Stallone. Based off of this trailer I’d say not.

Lastly, one fan wondered if Stallone died in the timeline. She also substantiated her claim, adding that a jump in the timeline could have proved this. However, she was intrigued to see what actually happened to Rocky.

Looks awesome! But looks like they wrote off Rocky completely? Aka he died off screen? In Rocky 3. Mickey died. So since we got a tjmejump I guess Rocky passed during this time.
Kinda a shame honestly. We'll see what they did. Still hype but ya I'd like to know.— ChaoticHelleaven (@CHelleaven) October 20, 2022
The story of Creed 3 takes place years after Creed’s victory over Victor Drago and also features professional boxers like Canelo Alvarez and Tony Bellew. However, the fans feel that Stallone should not have been snubbed in favor of other stars as he was the one who made the franchise into the success it is.
