Some fans have started worrying that Sylvester Stallone’s mental health might be rocky after his latest creed against the producers that hold the rights to the Rocky franchise over announced plans to spin off the character Ivan Drago into his own film series. The character was introduced as a Russian nemesis in the film Rocky IV, which saw Stallone’s titular boxer taking on Drago in the then-Soviet Union to help win the Cold War for America and the West.
Stallone has been teeing off on legendary producer Irwin Winkler in interviews and now on social media over the announced Rocky spin-off series. The actor/writer wrote and starred in the original 1976 underdog series of films, and was nominated for Oscars for both roles. Now, the actor who subsequently produced sequels that saw the boxer taking on Hulk Hogan and Mr. T, as well as working with a robot version of his late trainer, is publicly accusing Winkler of degrading the quality of the series.
