Did Sylvester Stallone Spoil the Ending of His ROCKY Spinoff Film?
As most of you probably already know, Sylvester Stallone has been developing a Rocky spin-off film called Creed. Stallone will reprise his role as Rocky in the movie, but the story will revolve around Apollo Creed’s grandson, who will be played by Michael B. Jordan. This is the description of the story that we know so far:
"The story would follow Creed’s grandson, who has grown up reaping the spoils of all his grandfather’s winnings and is forbidden by his family to enter the world of boxing. Against his family’s wishes, he is drawn to boxing and seeks out Balboa to teach him how to fight and follow in his grandfather’s footsteps."
Stallone recently posted an image on Twitter that features what looks to be the final page of the script for the movie. You can check out that image below that can along with the following caption:
“Where the screenwriting is done.”
If you flip the image you can read what the script says. I just couldn’t resist. If you don’t want to know how the movie ends, then I suggest you not read it, and stop reading this article, because I’m going to give you a brief breakdown of what the script page entails.
SPOILERS ahead:
This script page reveals two major points in the movie. The first includes Adonis Creed (Jordan), the grandson of Apollo Creed winning his big match. That was to be expected, I figured he would win at the end. But, the movie doesn’t really get a happy ending as Rocky Balboa is diagnosed with cancer and begins undergoing chemotherapy treatments.
The last time I checked, the post is still up on Twitter, so there is a possibility that Stallone could have just put that script page there to mess with fans. But maybe… just maybe, it was an oversight, and he just hasn’t noticed what he has actually done.
Even if this is the actual ending, I’m still excited about watching the movie. I love Rocky! Creed is being directed by Ryan Cooper, who worked with Jordan on the powerful film Fruitvale Station.
