Lionsgate Sets U.S. Release Date for Rambo Prequel 'John Rambo' — June 4, 2027

The summer launch places the Vietnam-era origin story in a crowded tentpole window and signals a generational shift in the franchise.

Die Filmkultfigur John Rambo kehrt in neuer Form zurück. 2027 geht es los.

Overview

  • Lionsgate announced the U.S. release date of June 4, 2027, a development reported across industry outlets on May 29, 2026.
  • Noah Centineo is reported to play the young John Rambo as the film reboots the timeline to the character’s Vietnam War–era origins.
  • Sylvester Stallone is credited as an executive producer rather than the lead, with reports saying he may serve in an advisory capacity or appear briefly.
  • Jalmari Helander directs from a screenplay by Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani, and the film has finished principal photography and is now in postproduction.
  • The June release puts the prequel up against major summer tentpoles, which could affect box-office performance and shape how the franchise is relaunched for a new audience.
