10 Movies That Just Got Cancelled
9. Sylvester Stallone's Rambo Prequel
Though 2019's Rambo: Last Blood was initially intended to be the final entry into the Sylvester Stallone-starring action thriller franchise, it didn't take long for Sly to start talking up the prospect of another sequel anyway.
Earlier this year, it was announced that the sequel had been scrapped in favour of a prequel, John Rambo, with Noah Centineo set to star as a younger iteration of the character.
And here's where it gets interesting - and weird.
When discussing the prequel, Stallone mentioned that another version of the idea was actually in the works before this, in which Stallone would've once again portrayed Rambo with AI technology being used to make him look much younger. However, Stallone added that he ultimately "procrastinated too long" with the idea, at which point Rambo's rights holders decided to instead move forward with a different prequel starring a recast young actor.
Considering how costly and risky it'd be to de-age Stallone for an entire movie, it was honestly probably for the best that this version of a Rambo prequel never came to fruition.
