Sylvester Stallone not happy with Rocky spin-off about Ivan Drago | Stars

entertainment">In the angry message, Stallone speaks of a “pathetic 94-year-old producer” and his children, whom he calls “useless idiot vultures.” “I apologize to my fans, I never wanted Rocky characters to be exploited by these parasites,” Stallone continued. The Rockyactor seems to be referring to producer Irwin Winkler, who was involved as producer on all titles in the Rockyfranchise. By the way, Winkler is not 94, but 91 years old.

entertainment">Earlier this week it was announced that there are plans for a film about the boxer Ivan Drago. Russian boxer Drago was an iconic opponent of Rocky in the fourth film in the long-running series. The character was played in two films by actor Dolph Lundgren.

entertainment">It is still unclear what the plot of the Dragomovie will be and whether Lundgren will return. In any case, Stallone does not seem to be angry with the Swedish actor. “I have nothing but respect for my true friend, Dolph Lundgren.”
