Anything in the Rocky franchise is day 1.

Was reading the excerpt in the OP, and about halfway through, figured it was Clickhole or something, so I kept reading on through, smiling every now and again, waiting for the punchline.
Which came at the bottom, with a link back to VARIETY.
They better not do ANY of this shit.

im all for the creed sequels getting a little silly at times.
i mean, some people rank rocky 4 at the top of the list of rocky movies and it's pretty much the worst one.

I watched Paulie mastubate in silence for years, Donnie.
Hey they worked that magic for a flawlessly young Michael Douglas in Ant-Man.
What a time to be alive.
That said these ideas sound pretty bad. Cheesy follow-up potential to what was a great film.

Is Variety a joke site or something? I don't get it.
It would explain why the Robots AI improved halfway into the movie.

No, Variety is a trade paper. It means all the bullshit I just read Sylvester Stallone cough up was stuff the actual Sylvester Stallone told somebody, as opposed to a parody article making fun of how stupid Sylvester Stallone tends to be with the Rocky series.
The joke was on me, is what I'm saying.

He could fight clubber langs son in part 3.
The Russian thing might work, if it was was tied in some way to Drago.
The other idea not so much.
Any excuse to bring Clubber Lang back to the franchise is good in my books.

They already have it set for the dude who got his jaw broken.
Apollo is dead, don't bring him back.

Creed 2 without Coogler or Michael B. is kind of a weird sell but --
Same. Me and the Rocky franchise, we've come this far together. Definitely not quitting now.

The article OP sourced was kind of unclear, but what Stallone was suggesting is that they would cut back and forth between a modern-day plot with Michael B. Jordan and a flashback plot with Apollo and Rocky. That's what he meant with The Godfather 2 comparison.
They're not making Creed 2 without Michael B. Jordan.

I wouldn't mind some sort of scene where Apollo speaks to Donnie in his thoughts or something. But not Apollo coming back to life.
I read somewhere he was supposed to be in Rocky Balboa. A shame it never came to fruition.
The greatest of all Rocky antagonists.

Well, I guess the point of a reboot is to milk the hell out of whatever success you have until it dries up, so go ahead! They should have Apollo be an astronaut who has been frozen in a space capsule since his death, and brought back to fight one more time.

SHUT UP OLD MAN!!!
They would need to. It's way too hard to keep playing up the serious sports drama card with the Rocky films. It didn't really work with Rocky II.

Dolph Lundren still looks amazing.
Why not have Adonis and Rocky make amends with Ivan Drago and team up to fight a common foe.
A Drago back story is far more interesting. where he gets exiled to Siberia after losing to Rocky, Drago escapes Siberia by killing, eating wolves and wearing their fur. Drago finds peaces and searches out to Apollo's family to apologize.

Yeah, it'd be more cool to see Drago again. Not for Creed to fight him, but to make some kind of peace with the man who killed his father.

But Stallone wrote and directed the previous film in the series (Rocky Balboa) and it was arguably second best to the original. It's not like he's some loon.
