Sylvester Stallone is back as Rocky.

The folk in Hollywood have only gone and made a spin-off to the Rocky film franchise and they’re calling it Creed.

Rocky fans, of course, will know that one of his greatest foes and friends was Apollo Creed.

Creed was played by Carl Weathers in the original films and this spin-off is about his son, also called Creed as it happens. Sylvester Stallone is back as Rocky and sees potential in the young buck played by actor Michael B. Jordan.

He better be running up loads of steps during his training, that’s all we are saying. The movie is due to hit cinemas on 19 February 2016.
