Hoping for a Creed trilogy

I feel like there needs to be a Creed 2 and 3 with Coogler, Jordan, and Stallone does anybody else agree?

I don't know why some people are just content with Creed as just a standalone film. Rocky was still battling cancer and Adonis lost the big fight so why would you want to end it all with that? There needs to be closure. Even stallone himself has said that the Rocky character was done and doesn't need to return. However he has also said that he has some ideas with the Rocky character for a sequel so who knows lol.

Creed 2 should have Rocky beat cancer. I like the idea of bringing Carl Weathers back to shoot some scenes. Adonis should win the heavyweight title this time around but against a big opponent. I heard many people say Drago's son which honestly is a cool idea. Towards the end Rocky's cancer comes back and it sets up for a Creed 3.

Creed 3 is the film where the Rocky character is finally laid to rest. Adonis loses title because his mind is not right due to Rocky not doing well. Rocky gives him motivation to continue on. Adonis wins the big fight but learns that Rocky has passed. Film then becomes a heartfelt tribute for Rocky's character.

Love the idea of Creed 3 finally being laid to rest and there being a story behind that as to Adonis's life taking a turn for the worse after winning the title then for him to have to rise up and overcome.

As for the Drago Idea , I think it's a horrid idea. As I said in another thread it's a bit too cheesy and predictable. I think they've already rode the "son/next generation" thing to the ground already with Duke's son being a trainer , then having Rocky's friend Ritchie's Son as a fighter , then Adonis. I think we've had enough.
Personally I think Creed 2 should #1 agreed have Rocky beat cancer #2 have Adonis fighting and winning the Vacant title since Conlon goes to Jail , but somehow Stuntman wheeler (Andre ward) gets snubbed for a shot at the title and reminiscent of Clubber lang calling out rocky, Wheeler calls Adonis out, goes on a smear campaign especially since Youtube footage of Adonis getting KO'd by wheeler in sparring goes viral. Final fight would be between Adonis and Wheeler.

Side love story would be drama between Adonis and Bianca because he'll get famous and with fame comes groupies and a bunch of TMZ type mess. Adonis will lose himself with the fame, even coming at odds with Rocky as he sees footage of the Drago fight and just now realizes Rocky took too long to throw in the towel.Bianca finds out she's pregnant, to which Adonis initially reacts negatively. In despair goes back to Philly, has a concert and is gaining fame herself but then prior to the fight, Danny does the "Tupac thing" by showing up and befriending Bianca since she's broken up with Adonis because he cheated (or appears to have cheated). But Danny has ulterior motives, does multiple photo ops and makes it looks like he smashed Bianca, Then uses that to enrage Adonis prior to the fight, even calling into question whether he's actually the father of Bianca's baby.
After much drama, Adonis despite success comes crashing down emotionally, Then Rocky comes back in his life and they reconcile, Him and Rocky get together and he beats Wheeler and then wins back Bianca in the end and they get married. Lol obviously all the details need to be cleaned up and arranged properly but ultimately what I'm saying is they need to follow the blueprint and base Creed 2 as a modern day retelling of Rocky 3.
