It has been rumored that a new Rocky movie titled Rocky VII is coming in 2025, possibly starring Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren and Mike Tyson.
Additional context includes:
This movie is said to feature Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) coming out of retirement to face a new challenger, potentially Cassius Cole (Mike Tyson).
Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren) may return as a mentor figure for Rocky.
Stallone has been involved in several other projects recently and in the past, including the Creed spin-off series.
There are rumors about other Rocky spin-offs and sequels, including a prequel television series.
However, some online sources suggest that the information about a Rocky VII film featuring Mike Tyson may be based on fan-made trailers and rumors, rather than official announcements. According to Reddit users, there are no confirmed plans from the studio for this project. Furthermore, Sylvester Stallone once refused to include a fight with Mike Tyson in Rocky Balboa, fearing he could accidentally injure him. Mike Tyson reportedly rejected an offer from Stallone to appear in a Rocky movie many years ago, prioritizing his boxing career at the time.
Separately, there is a biographical limited series about Mike Tyson titled Tyson starring Jamie Foxx, directed by Antoine Fuqua, and produced by Martin Scorsese, which is expected to be released in 2026.
While some reports suggest that a Rocky VII movie starring Sylvester Stallone and Mike Tyson is in the works for a 2025 release, it is important to note that these claims are largely based on unconfirmed rumors and fan speculation rather than official studio announcements.
