Rambo ‘to fight ISIS in Last Blood’, Sylvester Stallone confirms

Rambo’s unquenchable thirst to shoot things whilst wearing a headband has previously taken him to Vietnam, Thailand, Afghanistan and Burma, but in Last Blood he is set to head to Syria, where he will face his toughest enemies yet: ISIS.

“We have teams scouting Iraq and parts of Syria where ISIS have their greatest strongholds,” Stallone genuinely announced at Comic-Con. “We’re working with the locals there to help deliver the most intense and realistic Rambo movie experience ever.”

If it’s realism he’s going for, I guess this means Rambo will get caught in a lengthy war of attrition with the militant group (or a fictionalised version of them), or else Stallone is going gonzo and will mount an assault on these ‘strongholds’ himself with the cameras rolling.

Crucially, will he be using the oeuvre of Shaggy as a weapon?

Whatever the film’s plot ends up being, it’s a world away from his last description of Last Blood, which was that it would see Rambo going after a Mexican cartel and be “his version of No Country for Old Men”.

Rambo: Last Blood doesn’t yet have a release but, not one to let sleeping franchises lie, Stallone will in the meantime reprise his role of Rocky Balboa in upcoming Rocky spin-off Creed.
