Stallone Shoots Down Brock Lesnar Rumor

Yesterday a rumor was started that Brock Lesnar was going to play Ivan Drago’s son in Creed II.  The rumor was started by none other than Sylvester Stallone, who then apparently edited his Instagram caption (a new-ish feature) to say otherwise.

Big challenges come in all shapes and forms! By the way this is just for entertainment, Drago’s son will be played by a new unknown…#brocklesnar #rockybalboa1976

“By the way this is just for entertainment, Drago’s son will be played by a new unknown…#brocklesnar”.  So… ‘only joking fellas, but still gonna tag Lesnar here’.  Not the first time Stallone has done this, to start a ‘rumor’ himself, then…

Anyway, regular ManlyMovie readers will know that it is indeed untrue.  And that they’re looking for a real boxer to play Drago’s son.  They want a 20-25 year old blonde male, at around 6’3.  The last place they were looking was in Finland.
