There's going to be another Rocky movie, about the grandson of Apollo Creed
Deadline reports that Fruitvale Station director Ryan Coogler is set to reteam with his star Michael B. Jordan on Creed, a drama about a little-loved second-generation knockoff who stands there with arms wide oooooopen, because he’s getting ready to box. That’s because Creed is technically a Rocky movie, a film that—after six Rocky movies that delved fully into the dead-ends of Rocky’s relationships with his son and late wife—finally gets around to asking, “Wait, didn’t Apollo Creed maybe have a grandson we could make a movie about?” That’s the idea proposed by Coogler, anyway, who came up with the idea for Jordan to play the scion of Carl Weathers’ flashy boxer from the earlier movies, who left the younger Creed with plenty of riches and innate talent that night Russia finally killed him.
