He also shared his first look from the film dressed as a cowboy.

"Tonight we start filming..." Stallone wrote in one post. "Comes a Horseman Wild and Free. @rambomovie #rambo5," he wrote in another.

The film will be directed by Adrian Grunberg and scripted by Matthew Cirulnick. In May, Stallone confirmed that Rambo 5 is slated to be released next autumn.
