Rocky: Dolph Lundgren Clarifies Drago Spinoff After Stallone Comments
Dolph Lundgren clarifies his involvement with the Rocky spinoff, Drago, following Sylvester Stallone’s fiery comments. In 1975, Stallone wrote the boxing drama Rocky and, after attempting to sell the script to multiple studios, sold the rights to Irwin Winkler and Robert Chartoff under the caveat that he got to play the lead. Nine years after the franchise starter won Best Picture and made him a superstar, writer/director/lead actor Stallone cast Lundgren to play villain Ivan Drago in 1985’s Rocky IV.
