Rocky Balboa returns to the spotlight, but this time not in the ring. The iconic story created by Sylvester Stallone will be told from another angle in the film I Play Rocky, a movie that will depict the troubled production of the original 1976 film.
The project, produced by Amazon Studios, already has its lead confirmed: Anthony Ippolito, the New York actor who will portray a young Stallone, according to Variety.
Who is Anthony Ippolito, the new Rocky
Ippolito, just 26 years old, began his career as a baseball player before deciding to pursue acting. With roles in Pixels, Grand Army, and Purple Hearts, he gained recognition in The Offer, the Paramount series where he played Al Pacino.
