Sylvester Stallone's "Rambo 5" is getting a bit controversial as recent reports indicate that the movie would be about Rambo vs members of ISIS.
"Rambo 5" is going to be the last film in the franchise and some are saying that Rambo would go head to head with ISIS, but is this controversial decision to have Rambo fight against ISIS a good idea?
Citing Washington Post, Christopher Hooton of the Independent.co.uk has reported that Sylvester Stallone allegedly made an unannounced appearance at Comic Con and that he has revealed that the production team is looking at some places to shoot in Iraq and Syria. He has allegedly stated that they are working with the locals to make sure that "Rambo 5" would be the most realistic and intense one yet.
"We are working on it right now actually. We have teams scouting Iraq and parts of Syria where ISIS have their greatest strongholds. We're working with the locals there to help deliver the most intense and realistic Rambo movie experience ever," as allegedly said by Stallone.
However, "Rambo 5" may not actually feature Rambo vs ISIS at all as the reports where Stallone visited Comic Con were deemed fake by Stallone's representatives themselves.
According to Benjamin Lee of the Guardian, Stallone's representatives confirmed that the "Rambo 5" star did not attend Comic Con and as such, his alleged statement could not be considered as real.
"Sylvester Stallone did not attend Comic-Con 2015, and consequently there was no official remark from him regarding Rambo at the event. This is not an accurate report," said Stallone's representatives.
In a previous report, it was noted that Sylvester Stallone has started training for the role.
"I'm getting ready (for 'Rambo 5'). I'm starting to work out. I'm going to be appropriately vicious and all that stuff, but intellectual. A killer with a heart. Smart, yet stupid. Tall, yet short. Broad, but thin. You know what I mean. We're going to try to cover all the boundaries," said Stallone.
He also stated that "Rambo 5" could also be set in Mexico.
"I like the whole Mexican situation, what's going on down there...So I'm working on a formula for it right now," said Stallone.
There has been no other announcements regarding "Rambo 5" other than it would be called "Rambo: Last Blood" and that would star Sylvester Stallone.
