Yeah I'd be surprised if they did go that route and really disappointed. Creed is easily my favorite movie of 2015.

Hey, I love me some Stallone and the only Rocky I didn't like was 5, but "SOME PEOPLE SAY"...that he hasn't made a good movie in years.

True, but Expendables... Expendables are some of the worst films I have seen, and they shouldn't be. But they fall so flat I cringe just thinking about it.

Expendables 1 was fine, and that's the one he did.
Rocky is very, very clearly his baby too. I was fucking shocked he let Coogler have the reins.

Bring Apollo back as his son's Stand & make Creed 2 into American JoJo.

Adrian plays a goddess of heaven and Paulie gets drunk in hell which causes some huge beef which is then settled in a boxing match on Earth.
Only slightly less realistic than Rocky IV.

Reveal that Apollo had a long lost twin brother named Moses and you can have Carl Weathers come in and play him. He'll start out as sort of a sympathetic character that Adonis embraces until Rocky reveals that he's been robbing Adonis blind the whole time, leading to a climactic street fight between Rocky and Moses.

Just have Carl Weathers play a Russian clone of Apollo that (for some reason) Adonis has to fight. Have a post credits clip that rolls it all into the Marvel and Star Wars universe' and collect that dollar dollar.
Damn, I'm old enough to remember when a movie making 40mil was nothing to sneeze at.

I really hope they bring Apollo back. It makes sense.
Apollo faked his death with the help of Rocky to trigger the revenge fight in Russia. Apollo was brought over in the flight to Russia on a covert operation to research and get intelligence on Russia's nuclear capability. During that time he was caught and turned into a double agent. On 2016 he's sent back to America to assassinate Donal trump, as he's the only candidate that can stop the red menace. He comes back to Rocky and now his newfound discovered son as a trainer to trigger a fight that if won it would put Apollo in the presence of Trump to administer the poison. This plan is discovered by Adonis right before the fight and confronts his father on the issue. Now Adonis has to decide if he should win the fight for his pride or lose and try to foil his fathers and mother Russia's plan.

How did I miss that it was in the works? As long as it's none of this hologram Apollo stuff I'm there if Coogler's there.

I'd love to see a Drago trained fighter or his son fighting Adonis. Maybe have Carl Weathers coming to Adonis and speaking to him in a dream or something if you have to have him. On some Goku/Gohan kamehameha type shit. lol

Variety: Creed Sequel Aims for November 2017 Release (EXCLUSIVE)
without Coogler...all hope is lost

Bobbys Roberts dream movie. Stallone controlled Creed 2 with 10x the cheese as the first. Apollo secretly not dead and all.
This is exactly why you wanted Creed to be a hit, right Bobby?

Think postively, yeah. Creed still exists, and it likely got Coogler that Black Panther job.
and Creed 2 will be cool, in a disaster sort of way, likely

Robert Balboa vs. Adonis Creed
they fight for Rocky's love. But then after a unanimous decision victory to Donnie, Rocky takes the mic and says he loves them both. cue the soundtrack.

I'm thinking Coogler knew that Stallone was going to have more say in the direction of the 'Creed' franchise, and consequently bailed on it to direct 'Black Panther.' He may not come out and say as much publicly, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was a classic case of 'creative differences.' And who could blame Coogler? He'd never have his vision fully realized with Stallone given more of a prominent voice on the project.

Coogler or Stallone directing, anything else and we got a problem
If Stallone directs we have a problem.
I'd cry.
Also Stallone directed Rocky Balboa, so I think a lot of the fears over him directing are unfounded.

Seriously it's that simple they set up Ward to be his rival for the sequel well with the fight in the beginning of the movie.

Nah, he's a carny fucker, we good
Those scream traps.
Pretty much. It's basically tailor made for someone to keep going. Preferably Coogler.
If WB let him bounce, they are stupid as hell.
Didn't Stallone have no part in the story for this movie, and in fact not want to do it at all until someone (Coogler?) convinced him that it was worth it?
