The Purge 5: Sylvester Stallone could be set to star in horror sequel

Sylvester Stallone may be starring in The Purge 5.

The Rockystar has recently attended a meeting with Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions, and James Demonaco, who wrote the four previous films in The Purgefranchise.

Jason Blum tweeted, “The meeting went great with Sly”, before adding: “He did punch me because we were late.”

This has led to widespread speculation Stallone is set to appear in The Purge 5, while none of the parties present at the meeting have yet dismissed the rumours.

The Golden Globe winner’s acting credits include Creed, Rambo, Antz, and Escape Plan. He has also directed films, such as Paradise Alley and The Expendables.

Blumhouse Productions are predominantly known for their low-budget horror films; they produced the Paranormal Activity franchise, as well as Get OutInsidiousand Happy Death Day. 

The Purge has been one of their most profitable franchises, and has so far grossed over $447 million against a combined production budget, of all four films, of just $35 million.

The films are set in a dystopian America, where all crime is legal for a twelve-hour period once a year.
