Sylvester Stallone has been discussing a number of forthcoming projects on his slate and has revealed that he will be making a fifth Rambo film, according to ComicBook.com.
Stallone confirmed via Twitter that his next project would be the TV "Rocky" spin-off, "Creed", which will follow the grandson of Apollo Creed (played by the rebooted "Fantastic Four's" Michael B. Jordan), an aspiring boxer being mentored by none other than Rocky Balboa.
Stallone then announced that "Creed" would be followed by "Last Blood: Rambo," the fifth film in the popular franchise that kicked off with "First Blood" back in 1982.
Stallone didn't disclose any further details about the project, so we don't know whether he will be directing and starring, or indeed where the plot will take our musclebound hero this time.
Given how the rest of the franchise has played out, I'd venture to guess that killing people in interesting and creative ways will remain a central theme. "Rambo 4" included 247 on-screen fatalities. So, Stallone has something to aspire to with this fifth film...a higher body count.
