Recasting Rocky Balboa For Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky Prequel – 10 Actors Who Would Be Perfect

With a potential Rocky prequel in the works, there are many actors who have the potential to bring a young Rocky to life, shining new light on an already iconic character. The idea of a Rocky Balboa prequel show is undoubtedly intriguing, but executing it may prove to be a difficult task. Sylvester Stallone shed light on the premise of the prequel, introducing the titular character as a 17-year-old grappling with the common struggles of finding purpose and direction in life. While the first Rocky movie touched on similar themes by showcasing how the opportunity to fight Apollo Creed provided a concrete purpose for the character, this prequel aims to set itself apart by focusing on the historical events of the 1960s through the eyes of a young Rocky.
