Het ziet ernaar uit dat Sylvester Stallone zich na de opnames van Rambo V - een scifi-film over chemisch verwekte creaturen in een geheime Amerikaanse legerbasis - opnieuw zal toeleggen op zijn andere succesvolle franchise. Volgens de recentste geruchten kunnen we Rocky 7 volgend jaar al in de zalen verwachten. Stallone weet duidelijk van geen ophouden en legt uit hoe dat komt:

"I know I'll probably make a fool of myself if I make another 'Rocky' film after turning 60. I also know there's gonna be a lot of criticism. Even my wife says, 'Don't do it. You're embarrassing the kids'. But I told her, 'If I don't try I'll be a really unhappy man.' (...) You have to do it. Artists like me have to go through the dark over and over again. When I was 21 years old and at drama school. My teacher said to me, 'If you ever put your head out there, thousands of people will try to cut it off, but that's exactly what you need to do as an artist.' (...) I know it's ludicrous and everyone would laugh. I would laugh about it. But I also know that I'd be successful if I can make this a film about becoming older, not about boxing but about myself."
