Rambo makes a comeback in a youthful phase
In an unexpected turn of events, Sylvester Stallone will not be reprising his iconic role as John Rambo in the upcoming prequel to the popular action franchise. Instead, the lead role will be taken by Noah Centineo, a 29-year-old American actor known for his roles in "The Recruit" and "Black Adam."
The "Rambo" prequel, titled "John Rambo," is being directed by Jalmari Helander, a Finnish director known for his work on "Big Game" and the critically acclaimed "Sisu." The film will focus on the origin of John Rambo, delving into his backstory before the events of the original "First Blood" film.
The prequel is expected to provide insight into Rambo's youth and formative experiences, potentially shedding light on how he became the iconic soldier portrayed in the franchise. The story will also centre around Rambo's deployment as a member of the Green Berets during the Vietnam War.
It's worth noting that Sylvester Stallone played John Rambo in five films, with the original "Rambo" released in 1982 when he was in his mid-30s. Stallone portrayed Rambo four more times after the original film, with the latest being "Rambo: Last Blood" directed by Adrian Grunberg in 2019.
In the latest film, John Rambo lived a reclusive life on a ranch in the American Southwest. The "Rambo" prequel, as previously mentioned, is expected to be a big-screen production. Production for the prequel is expected to begin early next year.
