Famed action hero Sylvester Stallone has recently revealed that his much-anticipated AI ‘Rambo’ prequel idea has been scrapped. The actor, who is best known for his iconic portrayal of John Rambo, shared the disappointing news with his fans in a recent interview.
Stallone had been working on the prequel idea for quite some time and was excited to explore the backstory of his beloved character. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the project has been put on hold. The actor stated, “We procrastinated too long and missed our chance.”
But, fans of Stallone need not be too disheartened as he also shared a silver lining to this news. It has been confirmed that the prequel will still be happening, but with a twist. Instead of Stallone himself playing the lead role, heartthrob Noah Centineo has been chosen to portray a younger version of John Rambo.
Centineo, who rose to fame with his charming and endearing roles in romantic comedies, is no stranger to action films. The 24-year-old has already proven his mettle in the genre with his role as He-Man in the upcoming ‘Masters of the Universe’ film. And now, he is all set to take on the iconic character of John Rambo in the prequel.
This unexpected casting decision has caused quite a stir among fans, with some expressing their disappointment over Stallone not reprising his role. However, the actor has full faith in Centineo’s abilities and believes that he will bring a fresh and unique perspective to the character. Stallone further added, “It’s time for someone else to carry the torch and Noah is the perfect fit.”
Centineo, who grew up watching Stallone’s action films, expressed his excitement and gratitude for being chosen to play such an iconic character. He stated, “I am honoured to be a part of this prequel and to have the opportunity to portray a young John Rambo. I will do my best to do justice to this beloved character and make Stallone proud.”
The prequel, which is tentatively titled ‘Rambo: First Blood’, will delve into the origins of John Rambo and how he became the ultimate action hero we know and love. It will also explore his relationship with his mentor, Colonel Sam Trautman, and how he honed his skills as a soldier.
Stallone’s AI ‘Rambo’ idea would have taken a different approach, with the character being portrayed as a robotic killing machine. However, with Centineo’s casting, it is expected that the prequel will follow a more traditional storyline. This change in direction has left many fans excited, as they will get to see a different side of Rambo that has not been explored before.
The prequel is currently in its early stages of development, with casting still underway. However, one thing is for sure, with Stallone backing the project and Centineo on board, ‘Rambo: First Blood’ is bound to be a thrilling and action-packed film that will leave audiences at the edge of their seats.
Although Stallone’s AI ‘Rambo’ prequel may have been scrapped, it has paved the way for a brand new and exciting project. With Centineo as the lead, the prequel is sure to attract a younger audience and introduce them to the world of John Rambo. And for the die-hard fans, it will be a trip down memory lane as they witness the making of their beloved action hero.
So, let’s keep our fingers crossed and eagerly wait for the release of ‘Rambo: First Blood’. With the talented duo of Stallone and Centineo at the helm, it is safe to say that this prequel will be nothing short of an epic adventure.
