London
(ANI):
Action
hero
Sylvester
Stallone
has
killed
plans
of
starring
in
the
fifth
Rambo
movie,
insisting
it
would
be
seen
as
'mercenary'.
Stallone,
63,
who
first
starred
as
troubled
Vietnam
veteran
John
Rambo
in
1982,
had
previously
hinted
that
the
next
Rambo
adventure
would
see
the
hero
take
on
a
'slightly
different
genre',
reports
the
Daily
Express.
He
told:
“Yeah,
we
are
doing
another
Rambo
but
the
conflict
is
whether
to
do
it
in
America
or
a
foreign
country." But
now,
it
appears
that
Stallone
has
abandoned
the
previously
announced
project
even
after
the
fourth
Rambo
effort
in
2008
made
74
million
pounds
worldwide.
He
says
that
despite
the
critical
and
commercial
success
of
the
iconic
character
of
boxer
Rocky
Balboa
in
2006,
he"s
gone
off
the
idea
of
playing
Rambo
again.
He
says:
“I
think
Rambo"s
pretty
well
done,
I
don"t
think
there'll
be
any
more.
I"m
about
99
per
cent
sure.
I
was
going
to
do
it.
I
said
I"d
never
talk
about
this
but
I
feel
that
with
Rocky
Balboa,
that
character
came
complete
circle.
He
went
home.
“But
for
Rambo
to
go
on
another
adventure
might
be,
I
think,
misinterpreted
as
a
mercenary
gesture
and
not
necessary.
I
don"t
want
that
to
happen.
I"m
very
happy
with
the
last
episode
because
I
didn"t
pull
any
punches
on
it.
So
where
do
you
go
from
there?"
he
added.
