The three-time Academy Award nominee divulged on The Playlist’s Bingeworthy Podcast that he proposed his installment of a teenage Rambo, where Stallone would then play a “sophisticated” AI de-aged version of his character. So it isn’t as big a stretch.” With the non-AI Rambo prequel in the works, Stallone gave a warning to whoever gets the role in the end, saying, “It’s very, very hard. Everyone loves the original, and then you’re always fighting that prejudice.” Stallone played the iconic action hero in five movies: 1982’s First Blood, 1985’s Rambo: First Blood Part II, 1988’s Rambo III, 2008’s Rambo, and 2019’s Rambo: Last Blood. The prequel, John Rambo, which has Noah Centineo in talks to star as the young John Rambo, will be directed by Jalmari Helander and feature a script by Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirivani.
