We are so very sorry to report the passing of the great Carl Weathers. While perhaps best known for his work as Apollo Creed alongside Sylvester Stallone in the “Rocky” films and in “Predator“, he had recently returned to fandom with his role and directing for “Star Wars” series “The Mandalorian.“
“We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Carl Weathers. He died peacefully in his sleep on Thursday, February 1st, 2024,” his family revealed in a statement. “Carl was an exceptional human being who lived an extraordinary life. Through his contributions to film, television, the arts and sports, he has left an indelible mark and is recognized worldwide and across generations. He was a beloved brother, father, grandfather, partner, and friend.”
