While Stallone has said he’s hanging up the franchise there’s still speculation about Rambo 6, especially since the actor has a history of returning to character’s he’s previously called time on (including Rambo himself).

After debuting in 1982’s First Blood (based on the 1972 novel by David Morrell), Sylvester Stallone’s Rambo became one of the most iconic action heroes of the 1980s. After 1988’s Rambo III the franchise was thought done — that is until Stallone brought back Rambo in 2008, and once more over a decade later in 2019’S Rambo: Last Blood.

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.
