Sylvester "Rocky" Stallone har en roll i bioaktuella Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 (som har premiär ikväll) och även fast vi inte vet särskilt mycket om karaktären som han spelar har filmstjärnan förklarat för amerikanska Collider varför han valde att hoppa på Marvel-tåget och vad han hoppas att det ska innebära i framtiden.
"Well, you know... early on in my career I just always became fascinated with mythology and Joseph Campbell and you know, Man of a Thousand Faces and so on and so forth. So when I started doing Rambo, whatever, there was an evolution that takes place and each generation has to define itself and find its own heroes and find its own mythology and this is the new, this is this generation, and maybe even the next generation's mythology and when Kevin invited me onboard I said, 'This is interesting because I haven't gone here,' so I mean, I'm kind of earthbound, I'm terrestrial. You know what I mean? This is something that takes place in a whole other sphere where James and the Marvel people have created their own world, their own reality. So I said, yeah, let me visit. Let me drop in here and see what's up, it's where the future's going, you know, and it was great." Länk
John Rambo är såklart bara en av Stallones många ikoniska karaktärer.
