On May 2, 2012, Lindsay Johns, in the Daily Mail posted a compelling and heartfelt article: Why Sylvester Stallone Should Not Make Rambo 5.

I get where Lindsay Johns is coming from.  Rambo was a perfect bookend to the series… or was it.  Perhaps there is another story yet to tell.  Rambo is the reluctant warrior.  I trust Sly’s instincts… especially when he is at the helm.  Few had faith in a final Rocky or Rambo and we all know how they turned out.  – Craig

With the Sly’s recent discussion about a new Rambo story brewing, there’s been a lot of speculation that Sly might kill off everyone’s favorite warrior. I received word from Sly who writes….

• “When I said he goes out in a blaze of glory I didn’t mean his physical demise at all. Rambo will fade into perpetuity. Thank you.”

So no need to worry, Rambo’s not gong to see the Grim Reaper anytime soon! – Craig

On April 27, 2012, MTV posted a video interview with Sly where he discussed the potential return of Rambo.  Here’s a bit of what Sly had to say…

• “There’s a volcanic eruption [brewing]. The magma of Rambo is coming to the surface,”

• “It’s one thing where you lay down the final culmination of your life where you can articulate it, but also act on it where he realizes what his destiny really is… It’s not to be a farmer, it’s not to be obscure; it’s to go out in a blaze of glory in a heroic fashion. But is he really doing it for himself or is he doing it because that’s just his id? That’s who he is.

• “I like the whole Mexican situation, what’s going on down there… So I’m working on a formula for it right now.”
