Sylvester Stallone, known for his iconic role as John Rambo, has proposed an innovative idea for a prequel film that would feature an AI de-aged version of himself. In a recent podcast appearance, Stallone discussed the potential of AI technology to recreate his likeness as a teenager during the Vietnam War, suggesting that it could effectively portray a young Rambo. The upcoming film, tentatively titled 'John Rambo,' aims to explore the character's origins and is expected to start filming in Thailand in early 2026. Stallone, who has played Rambo in five films, cautioned that any actor taking on the role would face significant challenges, referencing his own experiences with audience expectations. The franchise has generated over $800 million worldwide, with the last installment, 'Rambo: Last Blood,' released in 2019.
