The story will feature Michael B. Jordan as the grandson of Carl Weathers' Apollo Creed character.
Coogler co-wrote the screenplay with Aaron Covington, and sees that Apollo's grandson has no desire to box and yet possesses the gifts and potential of his grandfather. He needs a mentor and seeks out retired fighter Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) who isn't eager to return to the boxing world, even as a trainer.
The project was Coogler's idea in the first place.
Stallone, Kevin King, Irwin Winkler and Robert Chartoff will produce.
