Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky Balboa won’t be in the third installment of “Creed,” but not because of any rivalry with star Michael B. Jordan.
The “Black Panther” star, 35, in a new interview with Total Film, explained the absence of Stallone in the most recent installment of the franchise the 76-year-old began.
“We wouldn’t have Donnie without Rocky, and he will always be a pillar in Donnie’s life, but ‘Creed III’ is really the dawn of a new era for the franchise and the character,” Jordan told the outlet.
