15 Biggest Questions Still Left By 2018 Movies

10. Is Stallone Really Done (And Does That Mean Rocky Dies)? - Creed II

Creed II is another strong entry into the increasingly great Rocky franchise, but it might also be the last one to feature Mr Balboa himself. While there's no confirmation of this in the movie, Sly Stallone has heavily hinted that Creed II was his final outing and he'd be hanging up the boxing gloves for good.

Creed has now established itself with two good movies, but it's still very much tied to Rocky. It's pretty much a given that Creed III will happen, but is Rocky going to a part of the story? It'll be hard to do it without him, because he's such a big figure and this is his world. If Stallone is done, then the only way to plausibly write Rocky out is to kill him off-screen, which would at least spare us from seeing him die, but also robs us of some potentially moving scenes.
