Sylvester Stallone Will Not Take Part In Upcoming ‘Rambo’ TV Series!

Briefly: Just last week it was revealed that FOX was developing a Rambo television series, tentatively titled Rambo: New Blood.

At the time, it was unknown whether or not series star Sylvester Stallone would appear in the series, but it looked as though he was at least attached to executive produce.

Now, it (sadly) looks like that’s not the case. A new report from Deadline notes that Stallone’s representatives stated that  “Contrary to reports, Sylvester Stallone has opted not to participate in the planned Rambo television series in any way at all.”

Stallone himself added “I wish the others well with the project.”

It’s certainly a little sad, as Stallone’s involvement is certainly what had me most exciting for the in-development series. As a huge Rambo fan, in any case, I’ll certainly be giving it a chance whether he’s associated with it or not.

Are you looking forward to the series? Even knowing just how much Rambo‘s intense violence will have to be toned down to even make it on television? Be sure to let us know in the comments below!
