A legend is being reborn, this time at the very beginning. Production is officially underway on John Rambo, the long-awaited origin story that dives into the making of cinema’s most iconic one-man army. This movie will set the stage for a raw, stripped-down look at how the warrior was forged long before the war followed him home. Now, the franchise that defined an era of action is heading back to its roots, with a creative team ready to reintroduce Rambo to a new generation.

John Rambo, the highly anticipated origin story to the legendary franchise, has commenced production in Bangkok, Thailand, starring Noah Centineo (the upcoming Street Fighter) as the one-man fighting force, under the direction of the acclaimed, visceral Jalmari Helander (Sisu, Sisu: Road to Revenge).
