Yesterday, Entertainment One and Nu Image announced plans to bring “Rambo” to television. And during the announcement, it was heavily implied that Sylvester Stallone was in talks to possibly reprise his role as John Rambo after portraying the character in four feature films.
However, Stallone’s representatives have spoken with The Hollywood Reporter and said “While a television series based on the Rambo property is in development with Entertainment One and Nu Image, contrary to reports, Sylvester Stallone will certainly not reprise his role as the iconic John Rambo for the small screen.”
The report notes that Stallone may still have some creative involvement with the “Rambo” TV series, but “he himself will not portray the character in the series.”
Nu Image and Entertainment One are in the early stages of developing “Rambo” for television. The project is expected to be shopped around to American networks and international TV channels.
