Sylvester Stallone's Rambo gets haircut and cowboy makeover in first images from fifth film

Sylvester Stallone's John Rambo got a haircut and a cowboy makeover in the first images from the fifth and final film of the violent franchise blasting into theaters in fall 2019.

The 72-year-old action star shared BTS snaps of his troubled Vietnam War veteran perched on his horse on the set of Rambo 5, which started shooting Tuesday.

The three-time Oscar nominee's reference to 'Comes a Horseman Wild and Free' might hint that the plot will resemble the 1978 western starring James Caan about ranchers defending their land, the Daily Mail reports.  

The Green Beret drifter went to Vietnam, Washington State, Thailand, Afghanistan, and Burma on his prior adventures and now he'll head South of the border to battle a Mexican cartel.

Stallone is rumored to be co-directing the flick with Adrian Grunberg, and the prior four Rambo installments spanning 1982-2008 collectively amassed $727.8M at the box office.

When audiences last saw the US Army Special Forces soldier, he had finally returned to a rural horse farm in the States marked with a rusted 'R. Rambo' mailbox.

On September 21, Sly (born Michael) shared a video of himself doing curl-ups while throwing a ball with his trainer Brad Siskind at Gunnar Peterson's Gym to prepare to reprise the role.
