The trailer for Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate revealed that John Rambo will be a playable character in the game, and the man who brought him to life is coming along for the ride.Netherrealm Studios' Ed Boon confirmed on Twitter that Sylvester Stallone will return to voice the '80s action hero. "Yes it's Stallone's voice," Boon wrote, adding a thumbs-up emoji. The water-manipulating Rain and half-Tarkatan warrior Mileena will also be playable characters.
Stallone first portrayed Rambo in First Blood, based on the novel of the same name by David Morrell.
