Rocky Balboa har gjort sitt i ringen om vi ska tro Sylvester Stallones senaste uttalande om den ikoniske boxaren på Instagram, som menar att hans medverkande i Creed 2 - som just nu går på svenska biografer - blir hans sista framträdande som den legendariske filmkaraktären. Rätt passande med tanke på att Creed just handlar om ett generationsskifte och om Creed 3 blir av så blir det utan Stallone:
"This is probably my last rodeo because what I thought happened, it has happened, I never expected. I thought Rocky was over in 2006, and I was very happy with that. Then all of a sudden this young man presented himself, and the whole story changed. It went on to a new generation, new problems, new adventures. And I couldn't be happier because as I step back, as my story has been told, there's a whole new world that's gonna be opening up for the audience, for this generation. Thank you very much, Stephen. And definitely you, Michael, for making that possible. Now you have to carry the mantle."
Tråkigt såklart att inte se mer av denna ödmjuka och hjärtliga karaktär i filmvärlden, men precis som Stallone skriver: "Sadly all things must pass... and end." Har du sett Creed 2? Vad tycker du om Balboas sista framträdande?
Go get'em kid...
