I don't think there's been confirmation, but there's been a lot of press coverage over this over the fact that it may likely happen.

"In the fifth episode of the franchise, when the daughter of one of his friends is kidnapped, Rambo, who has been working on a ranch, crosses the U.S.-Mexican border and quickly finds himself up against the full might of one of Mexico’s most violent cartels." |

I think the series ended well enough with him finally going home in the fourth movie. If doing a fifth movie, have him face off against the kid from Rambo III, who is very likely pro-ISIS now. Also, Stallone is 72 years old this year.

I think it would be cooler if he went to war against an evil CEO of a corrupt old folks home.

I'm sure this will play well with the Trump crowd. Anyone remember the proposed Rambo 4 storyline that had him facing off against white supremacist factions? That kind of storyline doesn't matter much anymore in today's political climate where those groups are openly accepted by the Trump administration and Sly himself is a Republican, so I guess he doesn't want to turn off part of his base. |

Just like I feel about Creed II, I have mixed feelings on a fifth Rambo. I feel like the story was brought full-circle at the end of the fourth film and I don't see what else there is to do with the character.
Remember the movie Copland? It wasn't a classic, but I thought it was a solid little cop drama and Stallone was good in it. That's the Stallone I want to see more of. Now that he's in his 70's, he should turn away from endless sequels and generic action movies and do some interesting character parts.

I would hope Stallone has the common sense to distance himself from white nationalists. "Yo, Adrian! Mein Kampf!" |

I'm looking forward to Creed II actually since Creed was good and I'm curious to see what Drago will be like now after so many years. I mean I had my skepticism toward Creed, but I was surprised at how good and fresh it felt. I don't know how long the Creed films can go, but hopefully they won't overstay their welcome.
I'd also like to see Stallone do more acting work in the style of Copland. I mean his work in Creed gave his acting cred a big boost.

I liked the fourth film, but it still wasn't quite as I was hoping for the series' finale. It may be fitting to get a fifth movie to truly end off with a bang. Then again, maybe I'm just experiencing fanboyism, where I wanna 'nother sequel just to have another one.

No doubt it is a wet dream for a lot of right wing whites to cross the boarder INTO Mexico to murder a bunch of cartel members. |

I'm beginning to think they should have stuck with the original suicide ending in First Blood.
