Stallone explained how he envisioned Rambo\u2019s early years.<\/p>\n \u201cI always thought of Ram as very highly popular. He was, you know, chapter of [the] football team. It was getting great straight A. I mean, he was just that kind of, kind of valedictorian. And the war broke him down. And turned [him] into this havoc machine, suffered from PTSD. So, I wanted to see that evolution.\u201d<\/p>\n Stallone also revealed to Screen Rant<\/a> that he had previously considered a different approach for the prequel, including an AI-driven project to digitally recreate his younger self as Rambo. \u201cI wanted to do the first AI\u2026 not retroactive\u2026 but I wanted to rewrite history of the earlier Rambo because I wanted Rambo to be the nicest guy in the school, the valedictorian, the prom king, and all that stuff,\u201d he said. He explained that the project never materialized, adding: \u201cWe procrastinated too long and they took it over and, I hope, you know, good luck.\u201d<\/p>\n Stallone spent over four decades shaping the character as both star and co-writer. He confirmed he will not take part in the upcoming prequel.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Vritti Johar on ComingSoon<\/a>.<\/p>\n The post Sylvester Stallone Thinks Noah Centineo\u2019s Rambo \u2018Will Be Quite a Challenge\u2019<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sylvester Stallone spoke about the future of the Rambo franchise.
