Carl Weathers-Starring Super Bowl Ad Will Be Adjusted Following Actor’s Death

A Super Bowl ad starring Carl Weathers will be "adjusted" before the Big Game and following the death of the beloved 'Rocky' actor.

Throughout his life, Carl was an iconic talent who had a profound impact on the people he worked with on and off the screen,” FanDuel told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement. Weathers, a former NFL player who starred as Apollo Creed in the Rocky series in addition to memorable roles in Predator, Happy Gilmore, Arrested Development and The Mandalorian, died “peacefully in his sleep” Thursday at the age of 77. Sylvester Stallone, who co-starred as Rocky Balboa opposite Weathers’ Creed, took to Instagram Friday evening to pay tribute to their decades-long friendship.
