Fan fiction turned reality, Black Panther director Ryan Coogler's dream came true when he was given the greenlight by Sylvester Stallone himself to create a spin-off from the long running franchise. Instead of once again focusing on Balboa, this time our main protagonist would be the son of Apollo Creed...a character audiences hadn't seen in 30 years.

For 16 long years the Italian Stallion seemed to be finally in retirement...that is until he  made his comeback. After the scorned fifth entry, little did anyone suspect a nearly 70 year old Sylvester Stallone would return to the boxing ring.
