Stallone is set to handover directing duties for the Creed sequel in the hopes of making the sequel to the smash Rocky spin-off an even better movie.

Stallone is not ready to hang up his gloves and retire from the Rocky franchise anytime soon, with the star set to direct the upcoming Creed sequel.

I'm not a fan of movies with an endless number of sequels, but more of Rocky is never a bad thing.

It's surprising to think that these two action legends have never action starred in a movie together. With this new film, that might finally get co-stars who are an equal match in the on-screen action stakes.

Inhabitants of the internet: This is Judge Dredd. In case you people have forgotten,my last movie was the bomb...financially. Any who oppose my efforts to have a TV series made, will be subject to the full force of the law. I am the law.

Comic book films have come a long way since Stallone's awful Judge Dredd adaptation. Let's hope he keeps up today's high standards with a possible starring role in Mark Millar's Starlight.

It's no surprise that with Sylvester Stallone leaving the franchise, the other cast members are not so keen on the 4th Expendables movie either.

In a rather unusual turn, Stallone is parting ways from the next Expendables film. A franchise that he created and remained the central figure in.
