During an interview with Empire magazine, Stallone said “I think Rambo’s pretty well done. I don’t think there’ll be any more. I’m about 99% sure”. He goes on to say:
“I was going to do it. I said I’d never talk about this, but with I feel that with Rocky Balboa, that character came complete circle. He went home. But for Rambo to go on another adventure might be, I think, misinterpreted as a mercenary gesture and not necessary. I don’t want that to happen.
“I’m very happy with the last Burmese episode, because I didn’t pull any punches on it,” he continued. “I wanted it to be what civil war really is – rough. You can’t candy coat it, and where do you go from there? So that’s [Rambo V] going to go.”
This is a bit disappointing as we were all readying for another movie which now looks like it’s not going to happen. I guess we now have a 1% chance of it being made.
