Stallone is also working on Creed, his spin-off from his classic boxing movie series Rocky. The film is currently in pre-production and will be directed by Fruitvale Station director Ryan Coogler.
Fantastic Four star Michael B. Jordan is expected to star as a man following in the footsteps of his grandfather, Apollo Creed, and getting a mentor in the now-retired Rocky Balboa, who Stallone will once again play.
