You’ll likely forgive Sylvester Stallone for calling a 94 year old pathetic as it appears his reasons are founded.
The 94 year old in question is Rocky series producer Irwin Winkler who has decided to cut the Rocky creator out of any new series meaning no royalties for any future films or series in the franchise.
This includes the new series about Ivan and Viktor Drago, stars and opponents in Creed 2.
Stallone took to Instagram to vent his frustration: “ONCE AGAIN , PATHETIC 94 year old PRODUCER and HIS SELFISH USELESS CHILDREN are once again picking what is left OFF THE BONES of another wonderful character!!!,”
Despite Stallone having created and written the character Rocky Balboa. an agreement suggests he doesn’t own the rights to the franchise.
