John Rambo will live to fight again.

The troubled Vietnam vet, first seen in 1982's "Rambo: First Blood," will appear in one final movie, according to the actor who portrays him.

Sylvester Stallone let the news slip while sharing plans on Twitter for another movie. He will work on "Scarpa," based on the life of organized crime member turned FBI informant Greg Scarpa, "after LAST BLOOD RAMBO," he tweeted last week.

I never knew they'd left.

God knows why the author of the novels (who is Canadian) used the name but there were two John Rambo's in the Swedish Nya Sverige Colony, both of Finnish Ancestry, the Grand Duchy of Finland being part of the Kingdom of Sweden from the thirteenth to the early nineteenth centuries.

Sylvester Stallone to produce ‘Rambo’ television series for Fox

Rambo is back in action — this time on the small screen.

The iconic movie franchise is being revived by Fox for a new drama to be executive produced by Sylvester Stallone, according to The Wrap.

Stallone famously starred as super soldier John Rambo in five movies, starting with 1982’s “First Blood” and most recently in 2008’s “Rambo.” The tortured hero tended to work solo in the action flicks, but the new TV series will pair him up with a new character: his son.

“Rambo: New Blood” will focus on the complicated relationship between John Rambo and his adult son J.R., an ex-Navy Seal.

It is not yet known if the Oscar winner will reprise his iconic role for the small screen, but The Wrap reports that the 69-year-old has the option to play Rambo, although no details have been finalized.

The news of the small-screen “Rambo” reboot comes as Stallone is celebrating the box office success of the reboot of his other famous movie franchise.

Stallone reprised his role as boxer Rocky Balboa in the drama "Creed." The seventh film in the Rocky saga has earned over $42 million since its release last week.
