The next movie in the long-running Rocky franchise has punched its way to a perfect release date.
The film I Play Rocky is a biographical story about Sylvester Stallone’s journey to create the iconic movie Rocky. Similar to the film’s underdog theme, Stallone faced numerous obstacles and skepticism while trying to get his movie made. Anthony Ippolito stars as the young Stallone, depicting him as both the actor who played Rocky Balboa and the writer of the screenplay. Peter Farrelly, known for directing Green Book, is directing the film, based on a script by Peter Gamble.
Okay, boxing fans, get ready! Amazon MGM Studios just dropped the news that I Play Rocky, a new film about the making of the original, will hit select theaters November 13, 2026, before going wide on November 20th. What’s really cool is that the original Rocky premiered on November 21, 1976, meaning this release perfectly lines up with the 50th anniversary of the whole incredible franchise. It’s a fitting tribute, and I’m already excited to see how they tell the story behind the legend!
