Sylvester Stallone almost got a big payday for Rambo IV

Sylvester Stallone is one of the biggest action movie stars of all time and has been in many sequels for several franchises. The actor appeared in multiple films in rocky Franchise, including creed And the The second creedAnd the Rambo. Stallone had his pick of franchises appearing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and DC Universe, so you’d be surprised which movie he turned down and at what number. During a new interview with The Hollywood ReporterThe actor revealed his biggest payday rejection Rambo IV.

“I refused 34,” Stallone said before revealing he was Rambo IV. “We were making Rambo 3. We thought it was going to be the biggest hit—that was before it came out. And she paid me a fortune for it. And then they went, ‘We want Rambo IV. Here it is: push or play, 34. “I go, ‘Let’s not jump the gun here…'”

Stallone likely won’t appear in the next movie of the franchise he started with Third Creed. Speaking in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Stallone was asked if it would be “weird” for him not to appear in the third movie and gave a candid answer about Rocky’s absence.

“This is an unfortunate situation because I know what it could have been. It was taken in a completely different direction than I would have taken. It’s a different philosophy – the philosophy of Irwin Winkler and Michael B Jordan. I wish them luck, but I’m more emotional. I love my heroes being beaten, but I don’t I want them to go into that dark space. I just feel like people have enough darkness.”

In 2018, Stallone announced his retirement from Rocky after more than 40 years when he wrapped filming The second creed.

“Maybe this was my last rodeo, because what I thought happened – and it happened – I never expected. I thought Rocky was over in 2006. [the release of Rocky Balboa]And I was very happy with that. Then suddenly this young man [Jordan] He introduced himself and the whole story changed,” Stallone said in the video. She passed on to a new generation, new problems, new adventures. And I couldn’t be happier, because when I go back, because my story has been told, there is a whole new world that will open up to the public, to this generation.”

Plot details for Third Creed Mostly, in contrast to the first two movies where there was a lot of information very early in the game. Early rumors had suggested that the antagonist for the film could be the son of Klopper Lang, Mr. T’s character from Rocky IIIBut that doesn’t seem to be the direction they’re taking.

Creed III is the Jordanian director’s debut, carrying on the legacy that Stallone started in the original Rocky series. The actor and director wrote every screenplay, and directed everyone except Rocky and Rocky V. Every part of creed The franchise has been handled by a different team so far, with Ryan Coogler directing his first screenplay he wrote with Aaron Covington; and Stephen Capley, Jr. directed by Creed 2 from a screenplay by Joel Taylor and Stallone, based on the story of Sasha Bean and Chiu Hodari Coker.
