It’s been on the cards for a good few years now, but it finally looks like John J. Rambo is set for a return to the big screen, with Sylvester Stallone revealing to Vulture that Rambo V is likely to be his next film.
“I’m getting ready for that. I’m starting to work out. I’m going to be appropriately vicious and all that stuff, but intellectual. A killer with a heart. Smart, yet stupid. Tall, yet short. Broad, but thin. You know what I mean. We’re going to try to cover all the boundaries.”
Rambo V has went through a few different scripts over the years (including Rambo V: The Savage Hunt, which would have seen the former green beret tracking a vicious creature that had been genetically engineered), and back in June it was reported that Sly was working on a script that is said to be his “version of No Country For Old Men” and would see him going up against a Mexican cartel.
Stallone can currently be seen in The Expendables 3 alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, Harrison Ford, Wesley Snipes, Mel Gibson, Antonio Banderas, Kellan Lutz, Kelsey Grammer, Glen Powell, Ronda Rousey and Victor Ortiz.
