Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone has forever been synonymous with the ‘Rocky’ franchise. Sly has been featured in six ‘Rocky’ movies along with side roles in the ‘Creed’ franchise. However, it seems that this was the last time fans got to see Stallone in the ‘Rocky’ verse after it was revealed that he won’t be featuring in the latest edition of the franchise, Creed 3. The director and star of the movie Michael B. Jordan., who plays the role of ‘Adonis Creed’, stated that the story now needs to progress without Stallone and focus more on the character of Adonis.
