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.

However, the fans weren’t too happy with this decision as they came out multiple times asking for Stallone to be brought back into the franchise. Despite this, it looks like Sly and the ‘Rocky’ crew have parted ways for the time being. Moreover, the latest poster of the movie was also recently revealed with Jordan alongside, Jonathan Majors who will play the antagonist, ‘Damien Anderson’.
