Sylvester Stallone is preparing himself to begin shooting for 'Rambo 5'. The 68-year-old action star revealed that he has begun his work out routine to play his role as John Rambo.

The last film from the 'Rambo' franchisee was released in 2008.

The 'Expendables' star says he begun working on his body to return as John Rambo in the upcoming film.

Stallone says that preparation for 'Rambo 5' is on. He has starting to work out to fit his character. The character of John Rambo is vicious, yet intellectual.

Rambo is a killer with a heart. He is smart, yet stupid; tall, but short; broad, yet thin. The filmmakers are going include these aspects in Rambo's character, added Stallone.

'Rambo 5' will see Stallone's face off with a Mexican cartel. Earlier Stallone had described the latest Rambo as "his version of No Country for Old Men."
