Sylvester Stallone has exciting news for Rocky fans: a prequel to the beloved boxing series is in the works. Here’s what we know about the upcoming project.
Stallone’s Rocky Prequel Preview
Stallone recently shared details about the Rocky prequel while on the Inspire Me podcast. He mentioned that the prequel will explore the lives of characters before the events of the 1976 film “Rocky.” This means we will see a younger version of Rocky Balboa, along with other familiar faces like Paulie and Adrian.

In the prequel, Rocky will be 17 years old, and Paulie will be moving into a new neighborhood. The story might also delve into the teenage years of Adrian, Rocky’s love interest from the original films.
Stallone described the prequel as being similar to Disney’s “Lady and the Tramp,” but with human characters instead of animated animals. This suggests a focus on the characters’ early lives and relationships, providing a fresh perspective on the beloved story.
Fans first got a hint of this prequel back in 2021 when Stallone shared a handwritten note on Instagram, hinting at a series. While Stallone has retired from playing Rocky in the recent “Creed” films, he remains deeply connected to the franchise.
With the “Creed” series continuing and a fourth installment in development, it’s clear that the world of Rocky will keep expanding. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting prequel and what it will bring to the classic story.
