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.

A Rambo prequel film is in the works, six years after Sylvester Stallone's revival of the character in Last Blood, with a Netflix hunk set to take on the titular role

Centineo will play a younger version of John Rambo, the character made famous by Sylvester Stallone in a series of action movies. Deadline reports that producers hope the film, titled John Rambo, will begin shooting in Thailand later this year.
