Amazon MGM Studios has revealed a second trailer for the triumphant movie I Play Rocky, retelling the story of the boxing movie classic Rocky (1976) following a young Stallone as he writes the script & makes his acting debut. This first premiered at the 2026 Toronto Film Festival to rave reviews and tons of acclaim – many critics’ quotes appear in this trailer from that festival. Anthony Ippolito stars as a young Sylvester Stallone, working on the streets of Philly, who decides to write his own script and make his mark playing the underdog boxer in this story. It also goes through the production & filming & release of the movie, showing that Hollywood didn’t believe in it until it became a huge hit ($117M at the box office in 1976). Ippolito stars as Sly, with Stephan James as Carl Weathers, AnnaSophia Robb as Sasha Czack, Matt Dillon, P.J Byrne, Toby Kebbell, Tracy Letts, Erik Palladino, Jay Duplass, Kiki Seto, and Robert Morgan.
