Director Jalmari Helander delves into the creation of the "Sisu" franchise, born from a desire to create something "fucking cool" during the pandemic. The sequel, "Sisu: Road to Revenge," sees the immortal Finnish commando Aatami Korpi confronting the commander who murdered his family.

He is currently focused on his next project, a prequel to "First Blood" titled "John Rambo," which is slated for a January shoot and stars Noah Centineo as the iconic character.
Helander also shares insights into directing his brother-in-law, Jorma Tommila, in the lead role and casting Stephen Lang as the villainous Dragunov. The director emphasizes the influence of the original "Rambo" films on "Sisu" and his responsibility in bringing the "John Rambo" prequel to life, aiming to make the franchise's creator proud.
