Sylvester Stallone Has Lost His Biggest Franchises In Just 4 Years, So Now What?

Sylvester Stallone has exhausted every one of his major cinematic franchises, leaving the movie star’s future uncertain. Before becoming one of the 20th century’s greatest movie stars, the actor famously rejected a six-figure rights deal for his first screenplay, Rocky, to obtain a guarantee that he would play Rocky Balboa. The gamble paid off, kicking off Stallone’s most enduring franchise and rocketing the unknown actor into Hollywood stardom. One of the biggest names of the 80s and 90s, Stallone’s continued commitment to major franchises has allowed the actor to maintain relevance while other actors of the era have faded into obscurity.
