But here's where it gets controversial...
The upcoming prequel, simply titled "John Rambo," has officially kicked off production in the vibrant city of Bangkok, Thailand.

Lionsgate has unveiled an impressive cast lineup, including Yao from "Sinners," Jason Tobin of "A Thousand Blows," Quincy Isaiah from "Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty," Jefferson White of "Yellowstone," and the talented Tayme Thapthimthong, who appeared in "The White Lotus."
Now, here's the part most people miss: the official logline for the film hints at an intriguing journey. It reads, "John Rambo takes audiences back, years before the events of First Blood, diving deep into the roots and experiences that forged one of the big screen's most enduring and complex characters." Imagine exploring the untold stories and experiences that shaped the iconic Rambo we all know and love!
The Rambo prequel will be directed by Jalmari Helander, known for his work on "Sisu" and "Big Game." The film is said to focus on a young John Rambo during his time in the Vietnam War, offering a fresh perspective on this legendary character.
And here's the twist: Sylvester Stallone, the man who brought Rambo to life, is aware of the movie but is not currently involved. However, the producers have left the door open for Stallone to make a potential appearance. Can you imagine the excitement if he decided to join this project?
The Rambo franchise has a rich history, spanning five films. It all began with the iconic "First Blood" in 1982, an adaptation of David Morrell's 1972 novel. The latest installment, "Rambo: Last Blood," released in 2019, directed by Adrian Grünberg, featured an older Rambo, once again portrayed by Stallone.
