Rocky Balboa was absent for Creed 3, but there's one character who needs to come back for Creed 4 even more - Mr. T's Rocky 3 villain, Clubber Lang.
For the first time in 47 years, Rocky Balboa was absent from a movie in the Rocky franchise with Creed 3, but there are reasons why his old rival Clubber Lang should still return for Creed 4. His nemesis in Rocky III and played by Mr. T, Clubber Lang was a hulking opponent who presented a real challenge for The Italian Stallion, forcing him to really go the distance and put his best ability to the rest.
Ever since Lang's planned Rocky Balboa return, fans have been waiting to see what became of the brutish boxer, particularly due to the revitalization of the Drago family saga once Ivan and Viktor Drago became redeemed in Creed 2. A Rocky character with such a great effect on the franchise should be included for nostalgic purposes as well as for the fact that he hasn't received a follow up the way other characters have.
The success of movies like Million Dollar Baby and Girlfight have set a precedent for a female-driven boxing story, and it could be the fresh direction the franchise needs to take to appeal to a wider demographic. It also presents the chance, such as with Lang's granddaughter, for legacy characters to return to the franchise even decades after they were last seen.
