15 Movie Sequels That Better Happen In 2017

3. Rambo: Last Blood

The Original: The unforgettable Sylvester Stallone-starring action franchise that began with the genuinely thoughtful First Blood, then devolved into a slew of moronic shooting galleries, before rebounding for an unexpectedly satisfying, ultra-violent fourth film.

The Sequel: Rambo V was in consideration before the fourth film even hit cinemas and various concepts for the film have been fed to fans online, including one where Rambo would face a man-beast hybrid, leading to huge fan outcry and a swift ditching of that concept. The last pitch was said to be a No Country for Old Men-esque thriller, which frankly sounds pretty damn perfect.

How Likely Is It?: Stallone has flip-flopped on making a fifth movie so much that there's no guarantee it'll ever happen, let alone in the next twelve months.

Creed 2 and The Expendables 4 could keep him busy for the foreseeable future, but given that Stallone apparently has a number of scripts for Rambo: Last Blood already lying around, it's probably not a million miles away from happening either. 4/10
