Sylvester Stallone doesn't think Rambo has any relevance to modern society.
The 60-year-old action star has been working on a fourth Rambo film following the incredible success of the sixth Rocky movie, 'Rocky Balboa'.
However, Stallone isn't convinced the Vietnam veteran can make such a sensational comeback as the brave pugilist.
He said: "I've really got to think about where Rambo fits into today's world. I think Rocky fits in, the message he carries is still relevant - he's a working class hero.
"I'm not sure about Rambo. He's a character that I think is completely out of synch with the way things are now, so it'll be an interesting character study - he's so primitive and so broken that he lives this monastic life out in the jungle.
"I am part of a different era, the 80s uber-action movie. Can you imagine making that kind of movie today?"
