Would Michael B Jordan ever be able to carry this whole film without Stallone. If they write Rocky out of the script this movie is going to bomb big time, Adonis is nowhere near as likable, interesting, or compelling of a character as Rocky is.
shareIt’s possible to have a Creed movie without Stallone, but it would be better if he were in it and even better if he were a major part of the film. I just hope they don’t do something stupid like have Donny learn over a phone call that Rocky died. Stallone deserves to be the star of the film in which Rocky meets his end.
shareEh I think you are giving Adonis way too much credit, he's just not as likable as Rocky was nor is he as iconic.
One thing that made Rocky's story compelling was that he came from the gutter and through his will and his desire and his ability to "take the hits" he made something of himself. Adonis came from a privileged lifestyle so therefore he's not only not relatable but it makes his journey less interesting. That and he keeps having these temper tantrums which Rocky never had.
