Sylvester-Stallone-Rocky-1
John G. Avildsen's 1976 knockout film, Rocky was a certified hit when it was released. Nearly 50 years later, the film would go on to spawn one of the most recognizable film universes — which is still expanding as a franchise producer confirmed development on Creed 4. However, it seems like Michael B. Jordan's Adonis Creed isn't the only one looking to get back in the Rocky franchise arena, as Sylvester Stallone is teasing a Rocky Balboa origin story.
Sylvester Stallone's Tease Makes The Rocky Prequel Sound Weirdly Like Rocky 1 Rocky Rewrites Mean Everything Can Change Rocky was notable for how it told the story of a broke Philadelphia boxing loanshark preparing for his first heavyweight championship fight against Carl Weathers' Apollo Creed. A signature part of that story was the dynamic between Rocky and Adrian — a shy part-time pet shop worker who happens to be the sister of Balboa's best friend, Burt Young's Paulie.
Instead, Stallone's Rocky prequel would cut to a time when Rocky, 17, first meets Adrian, 15 — doing away with their fateful encounter from the first film and reintroducing the relationship through the eyes of two teenagers. Stallone also referenced Paulie moving to a new neighborhood, and referred to a young Rocky as a "bad boy.
a Rocky Balboa prequel rewriting established character arcs already built in Rocky , would disqualify the legacy of a franchise that still has some fight left in it.
