The 78-year-old actor will also produce the upcoming action comedy, which has been acquired by Amazon Studios and will focus on a mysterious murder in a retirement home for spies.

As reported by Deadline, the film will see a Cold War hero on a mission to discover the assassin living in the home.

The movie has been written by Brian Otting, while a director is yet to be confirmed.

'Never Too Old To Die' marks the first project under Stallone and Braden Aftergood's Balboa Productions' multi-year, first look deal with Amazon.

The agreement will see the 'Rocky' legend writing, directing, producing and starring in a range of scripted and unscripted projects across TV and film.

"As an actor, writer, director, and producer, he has defined his own epic brand of storytelling and inspired people all over the world.

“We are excited to continue our relationship with Sylvester and Balboa Productions to bring even more of his exciting creative vision to our global audiences.”

Balboa previously produced MGM's 2022 superhero movie 'Samaritan', which starred Stallone and was distributed via Prime Video.

Stallone and Aftergood said: “We are thrilled to partner with Amazon to create new film and television projects.

“Having the opportunity to work closely with the talented creative teams at Amazon and MGM will further propel the incredible momentum of Balboa Productions.”

Meanwhile, he joins his family in reality series 'The Family Stallone', which launches on May 17 via Paramount's streaming platform, and he'll be back as part of 'The Expendables' franchise this summer.
