In a bold move, Sylvester Stallone returns to the driver’s seat as executive producer of the long-awaited John Rambo prequel. This new chapter will delve into the legendary hero’s backstory before “First Blood,” with Noah Centineo playing a younger Rambo. Stallone couldn’t be more thrilled to explore the character’s origins from a new angle.
Sylvester Stallone has officially joined the upcoming “Rambo” movie, but not as its star. Instead, the actor who first played John Rambo in 1982’s First Blood will serve as executive producer of John Rambo, the upcoming prequel that tells the character’s origin story.
The film represents a major shift for the franchise. After leading the series on screen for decades, Stallone is now supporting the story behind the scenes as the series transitions to a younger version of Rambo, played by Noah Centineo.

It has meant a lot to me and to fans around the world for decades. Now we return to where his story begins. I’m excited to be in charge of producing @JohnRamboFilm, exploring the first chapter of the story of the man before the legend.
