Gosling was Rambo? Stallone's surprise casting idea
2 Feb
Summary
- Noah Centineo will portray a young John Rambo in a prequel.
- Sylvester Stallone initially considered Ryan Gosling for the role.
- The prequel aims to explore Rambo's origins before First Blood.
A Rambo prequel is finally moving forward with Noah Centineo cast as a young John Rambo. This development signals a significant shift for the franchise, which has historically featured only Sylvester Stallone as the titular character since its inception in the 1980s.
Interestingly, Sylvester Stallone revealed in a resurfaced interview that his original choice for the younger Rambo was actor Ryan Gosling. He humorously imagined Gosling in the role, though this vision will not come to fruition with Centineo now attached.
Stallone, who is stepping away from the Rambo character, has expressed cautious optimism about the prequel. He believes the film could be fantastic if the filmmakers capture the essence of why Rambo resonated with audiences, rather than simply trying to replicate his past performances.
