It’s very interesting because people think it would be ‘Rocky VII’… It’s not, I have a supporting role,” Stallone said. “It will be great to take that character, who’s actually not well, and pass on his knowledge while he still has time. I think it could be a great movie and a great challenge. It is going to happen,” he added. PTI
