One of the most iconic Hollywood action franchises, Rambo had its last theatrical release in 2019, the movie was a critical and commercial failure and since then there have been rumors that a reboot is in the works.
In a recent interview, Sylvester Stallone was asked about returning to the franchise to which he gave a humorous reply that had the audience in splits.
Action Heroes in Their Golden Years
Sylvester Stallone had portrayed John Rambo in 5 movies, kicking off the franchise with 1982's First Blood, in which the actor played a returning Vietnam veteran who faces unwarranted harassment from the sheriff of a small town.
The sequels which did not receive the same critical praise as First Blood are still enjoyable action movies that helped Stallone achieve international superstardom.

While Stallone doesn't seem to be interested in reprising his role as the grizzled solider does not mean that this studio doesnt have plans for the franchise.
