Sylvester Stallone has just confirmed that he'll be returning to the big screen as John Rambo in the fifth film in the series.
71-year-old Sly Stallone teased a picture on his Instagram account with the caption: "Something wicked is coming this way!" which appears to show a release date of autumn next year. Obviously fans are going batshit over the news, but some people are wondering if he's just a bit old for all this now?!
The film is due to start shooting in September this year and the synopsis is sounding fucking epic. The official synopsis reads:
Rambo finds himself living on a ranch in Arizona, deeply troubled and wrestling with PTSD as he picks up casual work wherever he can.When long-time family friend and estate manager Maria informs Rambo that her granddaughter has gone missing after crossing into Mexico for a party, he sets off with her to find the youngster.What ensues is a violent descent into hell as Rambo uncovers a sex-trafficking ring.He teams up with a journalist whose half-sister has also been kidnapped and must deploy all his skills to save the girls and bring down a vicious crime lord.
It sounds like it's got a bit of a Taken vibe to it, which is good for me because I bloody loved Taken. Just the first one though, the others were pure dogshit. Roll on next Autumn! John Rambo is back motherfuckers!
