The actor talked about the Drago-centric spin-off, which Stallone criticized over the weekend
After Sylvester Stallone raged on social media against “Drago”, which focused on the evil fighter from “Rocky IV” (1985), actor Dolph Lundgren used social media to give satisfaction to his colleague, who complained. that she hadn’t warned him about the project.
“Just to clear things up about a possible ‘Drago’ spin-off,” Lundgren wrote. “There is no approved script, no contract, no director, and I personally felt that my friend Sly Stallone was involved as a producer or even an actor.”
“There was a leak last week, which was unfortunate. [Estou] in contact with Mr. Balboa-just so all the fans can relax … Done, “he added, calling Stallone by the character’s last name Rocky.
The “Dragon” project was revealed last Thursday (7/28), when it emerged that the script was written by Robert Lawton (“Crave”). In addition, plot details have emerged, which should focus on the relationship between Russian boxer Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren) and his son Viktor Drago (Florian Munteanu), Michael B. Jordan’s opponent in “Creed 2” ( 2018).
At war with franchise producer Irwin Winkler, Stallone slammed the project on his Instagram over the weekend.
“Another heartbreaking news … I just found out … Once again, this pathetic 94-year-old producer and his useless vulture sons Charles and David are cleaning the bones of another wonderful character I created without even telling me. “wrote Stallone. “I apologize to the fans, I never wanted the ‘Rocky’ characters to be exploited by these parasites,” he wrote.
And then he also mentioned actor Dolph Lundgren, who played Soviet champion boxer Ivan Drago in “Rocky IV” and “Creed II”. “By the way, I have nothing but respect for Dolph, but I wish he had told me what was going on behind my back,” said Stallone. “Keep your true friends close.”
Stallone had already made negative comments against Winkler earlier this month. Sharing a portrait of the producer drawn as a snake, the actor expressed frustration at the alleged deprivation of a stake in the “Rocky” franchise.
But as the star laments, MGM prepares to take back the Rocky universe in “Creed III,” which will once again bring Michael B. Jordan back as Adonis Creed, the son of Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), the first opponent. and friend of Rocky. In addition to acting, Jordan will make his directorial debut in the new sequel, which will premiere on March 3, 2023 in the United States. For now, there are still no predictions for the launch in Brazil.
