Having revisited the Rocky and Rambo franchises in recent years – with Rambo: Last Blood in UK cinemas later this week – it now looks as if Sylvester Stallone is eyeing a return for one of his other famed characters.

Speaking to Fandango, Stallone confirmed that he’s in talks with Robert Rodriguez over a new Cobra offering. As Sly himself put it, “I’m talking with Robert Rodriguez right now about Cobra, which looks like that could happen. It’s basically his baby now.”

Any such future Cobra effort would be a TV series, likely to air on Rodriguez’s El Rey Network.

In 1986’s Cobra, Stallone played badass cop Marion Cobretti as he had to protect the only surviving witness of a crime from an eerie cult.

As ever, expect more on any such Cobra series as we get it.
