A new Rambo film without Stallone is coming!

It will be a prequel to the misfortunes of young John in Vietnam, before his return to America in First Blood.

Last Blood was not ultimately the last drop of blood shed by John Rambo…

After 5 films and $ 900 million in revenue, the muscular franchise that forged the legend of Sylvester Stallone Prepares her come back, but without Sly.

Because this time, we leave in the past. This sixth opus will be a prequel to the origins of John Rambo. The feature film is officially in development, with the first elements of the intrigue now known.

After Deadlinethe project will be presented to the Cannes film market, where it will seek a distributor. This new feature film, temporarily entitled John Rambo (which is already the title of the number 4 with us …), is thought of as a prequel to the cult original film of 1982, which for the first time introduced the tortured veteran of Vietnam who became war machine.

Behind the camera, we will find Jalmari HelanderFinnish director to whom we owe Sisu: gold and blood (in 2022). The film will plunge into John’s youth, then soldier in the midst of Vietnam. The cast is only in its infancy, and the main shooting should start in Thailand by the end of the year.

Obviously, we understand that SYlvester Stallone78, will not be Rambo young. A new actor will be responsible for recovering under the soldier’s muscles. No casting has yet been announced.

As for the original star, she is not attached to the project, neither to production nor in another way, but Sly would have been informed of the development of the film, without him. The production suggests that the door remains open to a possible appearance of the actor, if he wishes.

Remember that the 5 and last part, Rambo: Last Bloodreleased in 2019, showed a Rambo Aging confronted with his old demons. He had made less than $ 100 million in world box office revenue, the worst score in the whole franchise.
