A sixth film in the Rambo franchise is currently in the works, and it's set to be the first that isn't starring Sylvester Stallone. Noah Centineo is being tipped to play the titular character in prequel John Rambo, taking over from Stallone, who had appeared across five films between 1982 and 2019.

As production gets underway on the upcoming prequel 'John Rambo,' a 29-year-old former Disney actor has officially taken over the role from Sylvester Stallone.

The original John Rambo movie, titled First Blood, sees Rambo, dealing with PTSD following the Vietnam War and inadvertently crossing a small town sheriff, which leads to a standoff between the Green Beret and the local police. The new movie will tell the story, or at least part of the story, of Rambo’s time in Vietnam.
