Action icon Sylvester Stallone (Creed 2) may be bringing his 1986 cult classic Cobra to the small screen.

While promoting Rambo: Last Blood at Cannes, a member of the audience asked Stallone to reflect on Cobra in which he replied:

“That (conceit) was what if Bruce Springsteen had a gun? That was rock n’ roll meets drama. That should have been another franchise because that character was so cool. And I blew it. My personal life got in the way. But we’re trying to bring it back as a streaming TV series. Bring out the zombie squad. I’m long gone, but the idea is really good.”

The idea is to reboot the film as a streaming TV series with a new squad of aviator wearing, machine gun-toting agents.
