One more round!

By Hope Corrigan

Sylvester Stallone has revealed himself to be the director and producer of the Rocky spinoff Creed 2.

Variety reports Stallone broke the news on his Instagram with a photo of himself and Creed star Michael B. Jordan.

Stallone captioned the pic:

“Looking forward to directing and Producing The incredibly talented Michael B Jordan in CREED 2 next year … One more Round !”

Talks about the potential for Creed 2 were being had as far back as January last year, with Jordan stating he believed that a sequel would need a real villain.

Creed 2 will begin filming next year and is the sequel to 2015's Creed, which mirrored the original Rocky story and saw Stallone pass the torch to a new era of underdog.
