As Rambo V: Last Blood continues to film in Eastern Europe, star Sylvester Stallone shares a new photo from the set with the titular action hero’s latest weapon of choice on full display.
Posted on Stallone’s Instagram account, the monochrome image shows the still muscular actor holds a particularly lethal looking knife, unsheathed and ready for action.

The iconic action hero previously used knives extensively across four of his earlier cinematic appearances though each blade was slightly different than the last. The upcoming sequel looks no different as John Rambo’s newest knife looks to be smaller and smoother than the massive weapon Stallone brandished in 2008’s Rambo.
Principal photography on the fifth film in the Rambo franchise began at the beginning of the month and follows the character as he ventures into Mexico after the daughter of a friend is kidnapped by cartels south of the border.

Directed by Adrian Grunberg (Get the Gringo), from a script written by Sylvester Stallone and Matt Cirulnick (Absentia), Rambo V: Last Blood features Stallone’s return to the iconic action hero he popularized in the 80s. It is currently scheduled for release sometime in fall 2019.
