In 2019, the fifth film titled ''Rambo: Last Blood'' was released. Taking place 10 years after the fourth film, Rambo is living a peaceful life on his father's horse ranch with, Maria an old friend of his father and her granddaughter Gabrielle, whom Rambo develops a parental bond with. When a friend of Gabrielle's, Gizelle, claims that she has found Gabrielle's biological father in Mexico, she ventures there against Rambo's wishes. The result gets her abducted by a brother duo of human traffickers named Victor and Hugo Martinez. Prompting Rambo to abandon the happy life he helped build and go on a rampage to find her. The movie was heavily criticized and accused of glorifying xenophobia, due to its release coinciding with American President [[Donald Trump]]'s anti-Mexico propaganda. However it's also considered the darkest chapter of the series since ''First Blood'', due to the excessive and creative use of violence within the film.
Both the films and the character have enjoyed massive success and popularity, and - alongside the ''Rocky'' series - catapulted Stallone to the position of a major action hero and film star. After the release of the first three ''Rambo'' films, Morrell went on to write the novelizations of the first two ''Rambo'' sequels because he wanted to include characterization that he felt wasn't in said sequels. There was also [[Animated Adaptation|a 1986 animated TV series]] called ''Rambo : the Force of Freedom'' that lasted 65 episodes and spawned a line of toys; [[Comic Book Adaptation|a few comic books starring the character]]; a soundtrack for all films except ''Rambo III'' and the animated series; and many video games including the NES version of ''Rambo'' and the Sega Master System versions of ''Rambo: First Blood Part II'' and ''Rambo III''. Rambo appeared as a [[Guest Fighter]] for ''[[Mortal Kombat 11]]'', with Stallone reprising his role.
