The actor, who immortalised the role of John Rambo across five films, confirmed that a reboot is in development, delving into the character’s early years before the events of First Blood.
What’s the Story Behind the Rambo Prequel?
While exact plot details remain under wraps, Stallone hinted that the film will explore Rambo’s formative experiences, including his traumatic time as a Green Beret in Vietnam and the struggles that shaped him into the hardened warrior fans know. This fresh take aims to reintroduce the character to a new generation while honouring the original’s gritty legacy.
Will Stallone Return as Rambo?
Though Stallone will not reprise his role due to the character’s younger age, he is heavily involved behind the scenes as a producer. Casting rumours are already swirling, with insiders suggesting the studio is eyeing a rising action star to step into the iconic headband.
When Can We Expect the Film?
No official release date has been set, but industry sources indicate the project is in early scripting stages. Given Stallone’s packed schedule—including his Expendables franchise commitments—filming may not begin until late 2025.
