Stephen Caple Jr. is taking the reigns following Ryan Coogler’s 2015 hit film starring Michael B. Jordan in the title role spinning off the classic boxing saga and now reprising accordingly next to Stallone as his mentor. A November 21 release from Warner Bros. and MGM is in tow for the film along with all else now with Stallone piling up on teases for a fourth Expendables film as of last week. Oy…

Expect more hype so bare, if you may, as much as possible. Busy year ahead!
