Sylvester Stallone: "We have teams scouting Iraq and parts of Syria where ISIS have their greatest strongholds."
Punching up the star-power at San Diego's Comic-Con on Friday, Sylvester Stallone made nerds swoon with talk of Creed, the newest installment in the Rocky film franchise
But according to the Washington Times, Sly raised even more eyebrows after hinting at a new Rambo movie pitting the legendary Vietnam veteran against a scourge worse than communist jungle guerrillas, the jihadist desert terrorists of the Islamic State.
"We have teams scouting Iraq and parts of Syria where ISIS have their greatest strongholds," said the 68-year-old action icon, whose unannounced appearance at the convention changed topic after a fan asked about a follow-up to 2008's Rambo.
"We're working with the locals there to help deliver the most intense and realistic Rambo movie experience ever," Stallone said, but failed to provide any more details before redirecting the conversation back to Creed.
News that Stallone had begun work on a screenplay for a fifth Rambo film emerged last summer. The announcement, which included the title, "Rambo: Last Blood," also came with a statement that should make any fan of the commando series drop their bowie knife.
“With Rambo V, Sylvester Stallone returns in his iconic role as John Rambo. This time he returns to the Middle East to battle the greatest threat facing the world today, global terrorism.”
The Islamic State could not be reached to verify this report.

Even if Hollywood did have the stones to do a non-PC movie like that, they wouldn't be scouting locations in Syria/Iraq... they would be doing their filming on the back lots of Paramount Studios in Los Angeles.
“With O’Bambi V, Barrak Obama returns in his iconic role as B.H. O’Bambi. This time he returns to the Mid-West to battle the greatest threat facing the world today, global warming.”
highly doubt that anyone from Hollywood is going to invest in a politically incorrect movie depicting Muslims (even ISIS) as the bad guys.
Even if Hollywood did have the stones to do a non-PC movie like that, they wouldn’t be scouting locations in Syria/Iraq... they would be doing their filming on the back lots of Paramount Studios in Los Angeles.
By the time they make a movie like that the streets of
Los Angeles will look like some place in Syria.
How'd that old enemy of my enemy thing turn out for you?
Sadly only the 80s had Rambo.
Today we only have Rainbow, and his...hers....whatever only weapon would be some glitter and a hashtag.
