The Creed movies have done what Rocky never could
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Whereas Sylvester Stallone was always looking for an end point to the Rocky franchise, Michael B. Jordan has proven with his Creed spin-off movies – and his ambitious plans for their future – that the series doesn’t have to end. Stallone earned dual Oscar nominations for writing and starring in Rocky, the quintessential underdog sports movie.
There’s a Drago movie, a prequel TV series, and a handful of other Rocky spin-offs in development. This franchise will keep going for a long time. But Stallone originally had a much different vision for the Rocky movies. Not only did he not plan on a whole spin-off series starring Apollo Creed’s long-lost son; he didn’t even plan to make all the Rocky movies he ended up making. But Jordan’s work on the Creed films has proven that Stallone’s initial vision for the franchise was wrong anyway.
Meanwhile, Jordan wants nothing more than for Creed to thrive as a franchise of movies, TV shows, comics, and other media. He knows there’s no shortage of great stories to be told about these characters and this world, so he has no ending in sight for the Creed series. Stallone didn’t have faith in the Rocky franchise’s longevity in its early days, and critics agreed that it would eventually get repetitive.
How Michael B. Jordan Has Shown Franchises Don't Need To "Halt" With the first three Creed movies, Jordan has proven that franchises don’t need to halt; they need to keep evolving. Jordan didn’t just tell the same story three times; the Creed movies each tell their own distinctive, captivating story.
