Sylvester Stallone will be facing off against the Mexican cartel in Rambo 5: Last Blood, and now we know who will be leading the charge against Rambo.
Rambo will be drawn out of retirement when a friend's child is kidnapped by a violent Mexican cartel, and Sergio Peris-Mencheta will be playing the role of the cartel's leader Hugo Martinez (via Deadline).
Sergio Peris-Mencheta, the Spanish actor currently on screens in FX?s Snowfall and Dan Fogelman?s Life Itself, has been cast as the villain in Rambo 5: Last Blood, the Lionsgate and Millennium Media pic that returns Sylvester Stallone to one of his most iconic roles and restarts the franchise.

He quickly finds himself up against the full might of one of Mexico?s most violent cartels. Peris-Mencheta will play the cartel?s leader, Hugo Martinez. Paz Vega also stars.
