At a conference discussing the companys future plans, franchise-speaking, MGMs Mary Parent mentioned the possibility of continuing the Rocky series.

Parent apparently announced the news at Cannes, and got some very enthusiastic responses from the audience, says IndieWire.

Hmmm. Why exactly were people excited by that prospect?

As I watching Rambo (enjoyed it a lot more the second time, too!) on DVD the other night, I thought - for about 5 minutes - whether Rocky, like Rambo, might return for another round (looks like Rambos coming back again).
But then I realized, Rocky said his final goodbyes in Rocky Balboa  Stallone intentionally made sure that was the conclusion of the series. There was nothing more to tell. Rockys journey had come to an end. We had come full circle. The End.

Rambo, on the other hand, is still evolving theres probably a couple more adventures in him yet. There was nothing final about John Js last mission at all. Nothing.

But for all intents and purposes, theres nothing more for Rocky Balboa to do  besides run his restaurant, get to know his kid better, and reminisce about the good ol days. And who wants to see that on film?

So what on earth would a Rocky 6 be about? And would Stallone even be in it? (Though earlier this year the trades did report that Stallone was looking at scripts for both new Rambo and Rocky movies  strangely enough).

Id say if MGM are considering anything, its a spin-off with Rockys kid (Milo Ventimiglia played him in Balboa)  learning how to belt the bejesus out of a hanging piece of meat. Either that, or theyre going to  as Han would say I have a bad feeling about this!  remake the original film. Wouldnt put it past them.
