Sylvester Stallone is to unveil teaser images of Rambo 5 at the Cannes Film Festival this month, ahead of the movie’s worldwide release later in the year, according to organisers.

Snippets of the film, which is titled, is Rambo V: Last Blood will be shown out of competition in a special May 24 career tribute to the 72-year-old American actor who made a name as an action hero in the 1980s.

‘Sly’ Stallone has already visited Cannes several times, notably in 2014 to promote The Expendables 3 when he turned up with co-stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Harrison Ford atop armoured vehicles.

The title of the latest Rambo movie is a nod to the first one, 1982’s Rambo: First Blood, which introduced the musclebound survivalist Vietnam veteran to audiences - and kicked off a second lucrative franchise for Stallone alongside his Rocky films.

A restored version of that first movie will also be shown in the Cannes tribute. The 2019 Cannes Festival comes up from 14th to 25th May 2019.
