Rumors of a fifth film featuring Sylvester Stallone as Vietnam War veteran John Rambo have been circulating for awhile now, with talk of various directions the series could take popping up periodically and subsequently fading from discussion.  Momentum on a follow-up to 2008’s ultra-violent Rambo — which was co-written and directed by Stallone — picked up earlier in 2014 when it was announced that Stallone was indeed working on another Rambo movie, and now the film might have a title, too.

Coming Soon reports that the title of the upcoming fifth Rambo movie will be Rambo: Last Blood — a label clearly intended to connect the series back to the film that started it all, 1982’s First Blood (based on David Morrell’s novel of the same name). The site indicates that Stallone is planning to return as director of the film, reprising his role behind the camera as well as in front of it.

The project has yet to be confirmed by the studio, so the title and any potential plot details are still unofficial at this point. However, the most recent reports suggest that the fifth film will send Rambo across the border to battle a Mexican cartel.

Back in June, The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Stallone described the planned fifth installment of the franchise as his version of No Country For Old Men.

It’s worth noting that the title Rambo: Last Blood is a title shared by a bizarre, flash-based game created by The Last Of Us designer Peter Javidpour.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
