Slys been in hit movies for 40 years.

People have a tendency to take his talent for granted.

Because hes so good, he makes you believe he is these characters Rocky Balboa, Rambo.

If people are handing out awards, I think Sly definitely is deserving.

It tells a contemporary story.

Just hearing him say that took that weight off my shoulders….

If hes cool with it, Im cool with it.

In Hollywood, nothing succeeds like success except, perhaps, for sequels.

So can audiences reasonably expect aCreed 2anytime soon?

But its still way too soon to talk about it!

Just dont count it out.
