It seems Sylvester Stallone is to hang up the character of Rocky permanently.

Creed 2 has finally been released and is crushing it at the box office and critically as well. It’s the perfect proof of how powerful the Rocky Balboa franchise is even after all these years. The mantle may have been passed to Michael B. Jordan, but Rock Balboa continues to be present in each and every film.

Which is why this video above is so bittersweet. It seems that Sylvester Stallone is finally done with the character for good. Content Partner Williams Fitness has compiled this video and social media messaging showcasing that Stallone seems to be saying goodbye to his most famous character permanently. Perhaps there will be a Creed 3 – but it won’t be including Rocky Balboa as a mentor figure any longer. Check out the video above and say goodbye along with Stallone!
