After Expendables 4, Stallone is putting together a new team for the sequel to one of his biggest films!

Still following the ideas on Sylvester Stallone’s side. After Rocky Balboa, John Rambo and Barney Ross in The Expendables 4, the actor is preparing to return to the cinema another of his iconic characters: mountaineer Gabby Walker, hero of Cliffhanger. Renny Harlin’s film celebrates its 30th anniversary this year.

While rumors of a sequel have been floating around for a while, it’s been official since early May. And it was not Renny Harlin, but Rick Roman Waugh, who is going to betray Gerard Butler (whom he directed in The Fall of the President, Greenland and Kandahar) to climb the peaks with Slice during the opus. No release date yet.

And it was the director who spoke about the project in an interview given to Collider a few weeks ago. First of all by clarifying that like Creed compared to Rocky, this Cliffhanger 2 will be more of a sequel, with Sylvester Stallone reprising his role and creating a new generation.

“Miss Gabe Walker’s character will have a daughter and an heiress. They own a mountaineering business in the Italian Alps. But tragedy strikes, just like in the first film, so father and son must learn to cope and overcome it. He,” He explains.

How to overcome a traumatic experience and fight to get beyond? This is what extreme sports like rock climbing are all about. And of course the bad guys could descend on the Italian Alps to wreak havoc.”

The new adventure, which the director hopes is authentic, takes its cues from Top Gun Maverick, another sequel to Generation Shock.

In terms of working on sound and realism, which especially means going to the Dolomites, where the film takes place. Now it remains to be seen when. And with whom Sylvester Stallone. In the meantime, we can find Sly in Expendables 4, in theaters on October 11, 2023.
