In May, Stallone confirmed that Rambo 5 is slated to be released next autumn.

The Hollywood action star will next be seen in Creed 2, reprising arguably his most famous role of boxing legend Rocky Balboa.

The sequel, featuring Michael B Jordan as Adonis Creed, will hit theatres November 21.

Bollywood actor Salman Khan had recently wished good luck to Sylvester Stallone for Creed 2, hoping that it becomes as big as Rocky, Rambo, and Expendables.
