Dolph Lundgren responds to Sylvester Stallone's criticisms of his involvement in the 'Rocky' spin-off, 'Drago'.
Over the weekend it had seemed as though the on-screen feud between Sylvester Stallone and Dolph Lundgren's characters in the Rocky universe was extending to real life. Stallone had taken to social media to criticize the development of Drago, a spin-off to be centered on Lundgren's character Ivan Drago, and his son – Victor.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Stallone's earlier message posted to Instagram had implied that Lundgren had betrayed him by going behind his back to make the Drago spin-off. In response, Lundgren would later take to his Instagram to post a photo of himself and Stallone in a playful fist fight and used the caption section to reveal that production for the spin-off was still in its beginning phases and that concrete plans were not yet in place.
Sylvester Stallone has long been at loggerheads with Rocky producer, Winkler, over rights to the Rocky franchise which he created in 1976. The actor has on several occasions addressed his lack of rights to his intellectual property, accusing Winkler and his family for constantly denying him ownership of his creation and instead making the Rocky franchise his personal family business by involving his children.
A spin-off, Creed targeted at the younger generation with Michael B. Jordan in the lead has been a tremendous box office success and the producers seem to have their hopes set on replicating Creed's success with Drago. Stallone has been involved with the first-two Creed movies, but will not be part of the third installment due to creative differences in the plot.
