Sylvester Stallone, known for his iconic role in the Rocky film series, has become deeply connected to the city of Philadelphia since the release of the first Rocky film in 1976. After filming several sequels in the city over the years, Stallone is set to return to Philly in the coming months for a new movie unrelated to Rocky or Creed.

In addition to his role as the lead actor, Stallone is also serving as a producer for the film. Production is scheduled to begin this summer, as reported by Deadline. The movie promises to bring Stallone back to the city that has become synonymous with his career.
