Rambo will change his face in the next film devoted to his origins, and the character hitherto embodied by Sylvester Stallone may have found his new interpreter.
The franchises that made the glory of Sylvester Stallone began to move forward without him. After carrying the saga Rockythe actor has passed the franchise Creed led by Michael B. Jordan. It is not planned that the famous Philadelphia boxer one day comes back to the big screen, unlike his green beret, John Rambo. After the flop Rambo : Last Blood At the box office, the killing machine will indeed make its return, but in other features.
As we learned a little earlier in the year, in May 2025, Millennium Media is preparing a new film which will serve as a prequel to the saga. This next part will return to the origins of the character, during the Vietnam War which traumatized him. If the pitch is not the most exciting on paper, the subject having already been greatly treated (and even replayed in the case of Rambo 2), he is the director Jalmari Helander, behind the blood Sisu: gold and bloodwill take care of the staging.
And the name of the candidate in the running to use the role is rather encouraging too.
RAMBO ORIGINS
After Deadline, Millennium Media would have set his sights on Noah Centineo to embody young John Rambo. If the 29 -year -old actor signs, it will be a beautiful consolation batch for him after the cancellation of the spy series The Recruit from Netflix and the likely disappearance of Atom Smasher, the superhero he camped in Black Adam Before the overhaul of the DC universe.
Lately, we could see him in the casting of the war film Warfare From Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland, but also in Dream Scenario with Nicolas Cage. The actor should also play Ken in the next film Street Fighter In real views of Legendary Pictures.
For the moment, the details of the scenario of this prequel of Rambo who will be written by Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani remain unknown. However, we can expect to find Colonel Samuel Trautman, former commander and mentor of Rambo in Vietnam. This character was embodied by Richard Crenna in the 1982 film.
According to sources of Deadlinethe filming of this prequel should start in early 2026 in Thailand in early 2026. No agreement has yet been concluded, but Lionsgate would be on track to get their hands on the project after producing the last two films in the saga, John Rambo in 2008 and Rambo Last Blood in 2019. The studio also distributed Content in North America in 2022. As for the title, John Ramboit will be necessary to find another in French since it is the title in VF of the 2008 component, simply baptized Rambo in the United States.
For the time being, no date or release window has yet been announced.
