The story of how an old friend of his father trains a broken, but talented young boxer to become a world champion and dominate boxing generates an inexplicable emotion. As loved the duo of Sylvester Stallone and Michael B. Jordan was on the big screen, the news of Stallone’s decision not to participate in the third iteration of the Creed franchise shocked the boxing world and the fans of the movie. But Michael B. Jordan recently indicated a potential comeback for Balboa in future franchise installments.

In an interview, Michael B. Jordan discussed a potential comeback for ‘Rocky Balboa’ in the future iterations of the franchise. After Jordan’s comments, the boxing world can’t keep calm, as many fans reacted to an old picture of the duo.

A potential comeback for Rocky Balboa?

In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Michael B. Jordan discussed the impact of the role of Rocky Balboa on the movie franchise and how that character will always be an integral part. The 36-year-old actor also made his debut as a director with Creed III.

Jordan said, “I think there’s always space for Sly, for Rocky, to come back. That’s one of those amazing things about that character. It would make sense in any storyline because it all stems from the world of Rocky. So any version of that, it would make sense.” The fans would agree with Jordan about the description and importance of Sylvester Stallone’s character in the movie.

Creed III marks the first film in the ‘Rocky’ franchise that won’t be starring Sylvester Stallone in it. The absence of the star will be felt in the movie, but Jordan has tried his best to make this movie as authentic as he could. Creed III will star many professional boxers, making their debut in Hollywood.

Fans react to Jordan’s comments

A fan, Xandra Courage commented, “You have to hope because Sly himself did not want to return in the 3, by the way we understand him well at the end of the 2, and today Sly does not even want to go see Creed 3, go understand.”

Lionel Malvisie believes that Creed III should be the last installment in the franchise. He commented, “No, we have to stop at Creed III, since the latter does not tell much and is only saved by his staging ideas, Jonathan Majors who gives his person and the BO de quali, so if it’s for once again do not tell anything new might as well stop at that opus.”

Enrico Greco thinks that Sly does not need be present in the Creed franchise anymore.“That says sly, does not need to be present as much as this franchise, so the recipes generated by creed 3 belong to him.. sly would have a couple million dollars in his pockets,” he wrote.

Dany Vrancken thinks that making a separate franchise for Creed was not a good idea. He wrote, “I loved apollo character in the rocky but I feel like making it a series was not a good idea.”

Massimo Potalivo commented,“It still tells Adonis’ past..”
