Lionsgate has officially kicked off production on its upcoming John Rambo prequel, with filming now underway in Thailand.
The project will revisit the origins of the iconic action character before the events of First Blood (1982), with a release currently slated for 2027.
According to studio updates and entertainment reports, filming for John Rambo reportedly began in Thailand earlier this year.
Noah Centineo will take on the role of a young John Rambo, taking over the character originally portrayed by Sylvester Stallone across the franchise.
The film is directed by Jalmari Helander (Sisu), with Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani credited as screenwriters.
Thailand has long been associated with the Rambo franchise, having served as a key filming destination for earlier entries.
The new prequel continues that connection while reportedly expanding the scope of locations used for the story.
