Based on the Nerdist article from October 29, 2016, here is a summary of the planned Rambo prequel film:

The article announces a Rambo prequel/reboot film was in development, titled Rambo: New Blood.

Key points from the announcement include:

• No Stallone: The most significant detail is that Sylvester Stallone would not be involved and would not be reprising his iconic role. The studio, Millennium Films, was looking to recast the part with a younger actor.
• Prequel Story: The film was intended to be an origin story, focusing on a younger John Rambo before the events of . The goal was to explore him as a more relatable and human character, possibly as a popular high school student and athlete, before his traumatic experiences in the Vietnam War.
• A Different Tone: The plan was to create a character closer to someone like James Bond, rather than the traumatized veteran seen in the original films.
• Creative Team: Ariel Vromen (The Iceman) was attached to direct, with a script by Brooks McLaren.

Important Context: This article is from 2016. Since then, the project has not moved forward. Instead, Sylvester Stallone returned for one final film, Rambo: Last Blood (2019), making the prequel described in this article a project that appears to have been abandoned.
