Overview
- Crews temporarily closed the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps to film the signature run, drawing crowds and limiting visitor access.
- Set footage shows Ippolito in Rocky’s gray tracksuit and black beanie completing the sprint, with a rehearsed collapse as part of the scene.
- The production is actively filming in the region, with additional shoots reported for New York City and Los Angeles.
- Reported cast members include Stephan James, AnnaSophia Robb, Matt Dillon and Tracy Letts, following an earlier first‑look image featuring a stand‑in for Rocky’s dog, Butkus.
- The film is billed as a behind‑the‑scenes account of how Rocky was made and is reportedly targeting a 2026 release, while Stallone is not involved with the production.
