Sylvester Stallone Scraps AI-Powered Rambo Prequel Plans

Sylvester Stallone revealed that his ambitious plan to create an AI-assisted Rambo prequel was ultimately scrapped due to delays and the project being taken over by another team. Stallone's concept involved rewriting John Rambo's early life, portraying him as a popular, successful young man whose traumatic experiences in Vietnam drastically changed him. Despite Stallone's involvement in the original Rambo series, the upcoming prequel, titled John Rambo, will star Noah Centineo as a younger Rambo and proceed without Stallone's participation. The new film will focus on Rambo's service with the Green Berets in Vietnam and serve as a lead-in to the original 1982 movie, First Blood. Stallone expressed hope for the new project’s success and had previously indicated interest in continuing to portray Rambo or passing the role to actors like Ryan Gosling. The Rambo franchise continues to evolve, moving forward with fresh creative directions while Stallone reflects on his original vision that utilized cutting-edge AI technology.
