Another day, another sports star comes out of retirement. Sylvester Stallone will reprise his Rocky Balboa character for one more movie. Unlike previous incarnations, this movie is the first "Rocky" spinoff, which will be called "Creed", focusing on the grandson of Apollo Creed, Adonis. The now 'retired' Rocky, will act as a mentor to the younger Creed.
How do we know this, (aside from a quick google search)? Well, the filmmakers were in Goodison Park yesterday to see Everton's shambolic performance against West Brom. It wasn't all misery for the Everton fans in attendance however. They became some of the first footage shot in the movie, when the cameras came out at halftime.
Don't believe me? Watch the footage below.
It turns out that champion boxer and Everton fan Tony Bellew is appearing in the film, and arranged for the filming to take place in Goodison Park.
Remember to stay in your seats at HT to star alongside @TheSlyStallone and @TonyBellew in the new 'Rocky' film. #EFC pic.twitter.com/RrMpBcdOxu
