The 27-year-old actor, who became known for his role in Netflix’s trilogy “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before,” will play the title hero in “John Rambo,” the prequel that will delve into the story of the character first brought to life by Stallone in 1982’s “First Blood.” 
Sylvester Stallone, creator and interpreter of Rambo, has already stated in interviews that he supports the idea of a prequel, but emphasized that he would not return to play the younger version of the character. For that reason, a new actor has been cast to take on the lead role.
The script is still under wraps, but the film is expected to tell the origins of young John Rambo during the Vietnam War, when he served as part of the U.S. Army’s elite.
Filming is scheduled to begin in January; Jalmari Helander will direct with a script written by Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani.
