Rocky (film series)
Rocky is a series of American boxing sports-drama films. The first film, "Rocky" (1976), and its five sequels centered on the boxing career of the eponymous fictional character, Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone). For the seventh, a spin-off-sequel "Creed" (2015), and eighth, "Creed II", the series shifted its focus towards Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan), the son of Rocky's deceased rival and friend Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), trained by a now retired Rocky. All films in the series were written or co-written by Stallone except for "Creed", which was written by Ryan Coogler and Aaron Covington. The original film and the fifth installment were directed by John G. Avildsen, "Creed" was directed by Coogler, "Creed II" was directed by Steven Caple Jr., and the rest were directed by Stallone.
