Sylvester Stallone was originally set supposed to direct Creed 2 and I was actually excited about that. Deadline is now reporting that he is no longer directing the film that he's already been replaced by Steven Caple Jr. I'm not really familiar with his work, but he worked on series called Class and film called The Land.
According to the report, it was Stallone's decision to hire a new director for the film. The actor, who will still reprise his role as Rocky in the film, had this to say in a statement:
"The character of Adonis Creed reflects this generation and its challenges. I believe it’s important for the director to also be a part of this generation like I was in mine, to make the story as relatable as possible. We are extremely lucky to have the talented young filmmaker Steven Caple Jr. step up and accept the role of director.

Freeform re-opened the doors of Camp Stillwater on Tuesday, claiming (at least) one life in the process.
Dead of Summer‘s series premiere took viewers all the way back to 1989 for an introduction to its staff, including Amy (Once Upon a Time‘s Elizabeth Lail), the new girl with the killer backstory; Blair (Ugly Betty‘s Mark Indelicato), the out-and-proud best friend of free spirit Cricket (Class‘ Amber Coney); Alex (Orange Is the New Black‘s Ronen Rubinstein), the hottie with a trunk full of stolen clothes; and Joel (The 100‘s Eli Goree), who never passes up an opportunity to creepily film his co-workers.
