Argentine actor and producer Nico Vázquez traveled to Philadelphia to film promotional pieces for the second season of "Rocky," which will premiere on January 15, 2026, at the Lola Membrives Theatre. Director Mariano Demaría and producer Damián Armocida were also part of the experience, accompanying the filming and production in the city.
This is the second trip they have taken together, but the first as an official couple, after he separated from Jimena Accardi and she from Gonzalo Gerber. The recorded images will be part of the promotional campaign for the new season of "Rocky," while the team prepares to return to Buenos Aires and close the successful first season on the upcoming November 30.
This Monday, November 10, tickets for the second season of "Rocky" go on sale; the show is currently the most-viewed production in the country.
At the heart of the plot is Rocky Balboa, a second-tier boxer who, against all odds, is selected to face the world champion, Apollo Creed. On his way to the fight of his life, Rocky finds love in Adrian (a shy and reserved woman), which propels him to face his fears and get up again and again, no matter how many times he falls.
Based on the iconic film, the production celebrates the power of love and the ability to overcome adversity, reminding us that true victory lies in not giving up.
With an intense and emotional staging, this adaptation promises to be an unforgettable theatrical experience, capable of inspiring all those who have ever felt defeated.
During his stay, Vázquez also participated in the traditional "Rocky Run," the city's most emblematic event, which is held annually in Philadelphia and gathers over 30,000 participants. The filming took place at the most iconic locations of the film saga, including the "Rocky" neighborhood and the historic steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where thousands of fans gather daily to relive the classic moment of the character played by Sylvester Stallone.
