Rocky Not Returning For Creed III Can Break Its Balboa Copycat Trend
Adonis Creed's underdog journey, so far, has undoubtedly drawn its inspiration from its parent franchise, but Rocky's absence from Creed III can finally break this trend and allow the Michael B. Jordan series to carve its own unique path. Ryan Coogler's Creed does an incredible job at reimagining and refashioning the Rocky series — especially the first film — in such a way that it is indistinguishable from the original but still subversive in its own way. Rocky's legacy reigns supreme, but Sylvester Stallone allows his character to take a backseat as a coach and empowers Michael B. Jordan's Adonis to find his way to glory.
