Sylvester Stallone initially rejected the script for Creed (2015). He believed Rocky's story was finished and hated the idea of portraying the hero as sick and frail. Ryan Coogler had to relentlessly persuade him to pass the torch.

Sylvester Stallone on how Creed almost didn't happen: By 2006, Stallone thought he was finished with Rocky. He'd just wrapped Rocky Balboa, a film he had to fight to make in the first place. "It's tough when you say, hey, I got this great idea about a 60 year old boxer. It's really...3 this is the worst idea ever. But anyway, it got done." He continues: "I was very satisfied with the results. And that was 2006. And I thought, okay, this is my crowning accomplishment." Stallone describes waving goodbye to the audience, certain he was done with the character that had defined his career for three decades. Then eight years later, an unknown filmmaker came knocking with a pitch. "He goes, well, I'm an unknown filmmaker, I haven't made any movies yet. But I have this idea about bringing you back and this character, Apollo Creed. See, Apollo, you didn't know this, had an illegitimate son. So he's telling me the story and I go, very interesting." Stallone passed. The filmmaker (Ryan Coogler) went away and made Fruitvale Station with Michael B. Jordan, which swept awards at Cannes. Then he came back and pitched Stallone again. "He doesn't quit, does he? He's really a pesky guy, you know?" What eventually won Stallone over wasn't just Coogler's persistence: "In this movie, Rocky goes into a different kind of fight. He's not in the ring anymore. And he's dealing with life issues, which is much more realistic in some situations. And Michael, who plays Adonis, comes into his life, and they're from absolute opposite sides of the world, and slowly they begin to meld in kind of a family relationship." The result was a film Stallone's own daughters (who had spent years rolling their eyes at Rambo) finally approved of. "They went, finally, you've made a decent film."
