Creed 3’s Big Death Means 1 Character Must Have A Bigger Role In Creed 4

After a significant death in Creed 3, another female character needs a bigger role in Creed 4 to correct a franchise issue. The Rocky franchise centered on Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky Balboa, and while Rocky’s wife, Adrian Pennino, was a major part of his life, the franchise was still male-centric. Creed follows suit with the first film, mainly focusing on Adonis and Rocky’s relationship as the latter trained Adonis for a match. However, it also briefly explores his love story with Bianca, and the two end up marrying and having a child in Creed 2.
