Rambo 6: New Blood – First Trailer | Sylvester Stallone, Jon Bernthal
Watch trailer:
With the Rambo franchise returning from death not once, but twice, it’s clear to see why questions around Rambo 6 are still being sent Stallone’s way. With Stallone’s other iconic characters such as Rocky Balboa and The Expendable’s Barney Ross also making many appearances beyond their supposed last, many diehard fans are holding out hope that Last Blood’s title wasn’t accurate. While the chances of a Rambo 6 release date announcement soon are incredibly unlikely there have still been some ideas about the sequel touted since Rambo: Last Blood, and John Rambo returning (whether played by Stallone or not) is far from impossible.
The most recent Rambo 6 news came from Sylvester Stallone, and the veteran actor once again made it clear that he’s currently got no intentions of revisiting the franchise. In an interview from the Toronto International Film Festival released via the JoBlo.com Facebook page, Stallone fielded a question on Rambo 6 and bluntly made it clear that he was truly done playing John Rambo.
As clear from the interview, Stallone is fully aware that there’s still demand for Rambo 6. However, in a rather humorous appraisal of the situation, the 77-year-old Stallone cites his age as one of the key reasons he’s not keen on playing Rambo again. “Rambo, I could leave him. He’s done pretty much,” Stallone explained, “even though they want to do another one, but what am I fighting? Arthritis?”
Rambo 6 Isn’t Confirmed
Rambo 6 isn’t confirmed, and there are currently no plans to greenlight a sequel to 2019’s Rambo: Last Blood. Since Sylvester Stallone doesn’t seem to want to press ahead with a new Rambo movie the 6th franchise installment may only be able to move forward as a reboot or remake with another actor in the lead — unless Stallone changes his mind, of course.
