Michael B. Jordan On Why Sylvester Stallone's Rocky Isn't In Creed 3

Creed 3 star and director Michael B. Jordan has shed some light as to why Sylvester Stallone will not be appearing in the next entry of the Rocky spin-off series. Speaking to IGN's Jim Vejvoda while promoting Tom Clancy's Without Remorse, Jordan revealed that one of the main reasons Stallone won't be returning is that this is a Creed franchise, and they "really want to build this story and this world around [Adonis] moving forward."
