New 'Rocky' Movie Casting Philadelphia Locals

PHILADELPHIA – Ever want to be on the big screen? Well you have a chance to earn that opportunity right here in Philadelphia and be part of one of Philly's most iconic tales, as the newest installment in the "Rocky" franchise is casting Philly locals.

However, there is a catch.

"Creed 2" – the sequel to the hit 2015 film "Creed" that featured Sylvester Stallone's Rocky Balboa as the trainer of Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan), Apollo Creed's son – is casting in Philadelphia, but the casting agency is looking for people who are fluent in Russian.

In a Facebook post, Heery-Loftus Casting said it's looking for real Philadelphians who can speak and read the language.

Why Russian? The villian in "Creed 2" will be the son of Ivan Drago, Rocky Balboa's most infamous opponent.

If you or someone you know want to give it a shot, send your resume and photos to the people at Heery-Loftus Casting.
