It's starting to look like Sylvester Stallone will never be done with his most famous creation.

There have been a number of large time gaps between films in the series, but Stallone seems to be pretty devoted to him. After reviving the ex-prize fighter as a trainer for the two Creed movies in 2015 and 2018, Stallone is now hatching ideas for another spinoff.

The new film would see Rocky agree to train another angry young fighter — this one an immigrant who is stuck in the U.S. with no prospects (suggesting a return of the political Rocky who won the Cold War in 1985's "Rocky IV").

However, I should stress here that this is just an idea lodged in Stallone's head at this point, and there's reason to believe that head is still a bit indecisive — after the release of "Creed II," Stallone said emphatically that he was done with Rocky.

But now, along with the possibility of a new movie, there are also plans in the works for a third Creed movie.

The whole arc of Rocky news is playing out like one of his movies: just when he's on the ropes taking hits and you think he's going down, he suddenly lands a huge shot and he's back in the fight. The lesson we've learned after 45 years is to never count Rocky out.
