Cobra TV series rumored in development from Stallone and Robert Rodriguez
 
https://www.fandango.com/movie-news/...ckets_Stallone

Fandango correspondent Nikki Novak recently sat down with Stallone to chat all things Rambo: Last Blood (in theaters September 20; get your tickets now at Fandango), and when we asked him what other memorable roles he’d like to reprise, the veteran action star wasted no time in revealing that he’s already in talks about bringing back at least two of his ‘80s icons.

“I’m talking with Robert Rodriguez right now about Cobra, which looks like that could happen,” Stallone revealed. Cobra, which hit theaters in 1986, is known for being one of Sly’s more hardcore roles. He’s played various cops over the years, but Cobra – with his rad shades, toothpick, one-liners, leather gloves and automatic firepower – was a bit of a beast. He played by his own rules, and the film (which never got a sequel) tracked tough-guy Marion Cobretti in his attempt to protect the only surviving witness of a blood-thirsty cult.

Stallone added that Cobra would be done “as a series,” alluding to the fact that Rodriguez wants to make it for the small screen. “It’s basically his baby now,” Stallone said, referring to Rodriguez. While Sly didn’t offer up any additional details on Rodriguez’s Cobra, we’re assuming the writer-director would bring it to his own El Ray Network, similar to how he resurrected 1996’s From Dusk Till Dawn and turned that into a series for the same network. El Ray does have a brief history with Cobra, too, having aired the cop thriller a few years back, with From Dusk Till Dawn star D.J. Cotrona (in character as Seth Gecko) hosting the screening. No word on how involved Stallone would be in the series, though we’re assuming he would reprise the character for an unknown amount of episodes.

Good drama is the disease. Meet the cure. ;)

I love Cobra and I'd give this a try. I hope its like the movie and less like the usual old cop being saddled with a young newbie.

Cobra was awesome, and El Rey has done some good stuff, I'm down.

So is this Rambo and Cobra or Cobra and another icon? If the latter, I think we all are yearning for more of Lincoln Hawk as well.

I'd be all in on a Cobra series. Movie was always a guilty pleasure.

It was in regards to Tango and Cash 2.

Cobra was hugely underrated. I don't want to see Stallone in it at all, just recast the Cobra character

If this gets made, Stallone would probably only be involved as an "In name only" Executive Producer
