The Truth About “Rambo 6: New Blood” (2025) and the “John Rambo” Prequel Project

Currently, on YouTube and IMDb, there are many videos with titles like “Rambo 6: New Blood (2025) – Official Trailer”, but they are all fan-made trailers, not official products from any film studio. Many fans were confused when they saw Stallone’s image inserted and labeled as a “sequel”, while in fact there was no confirmation of the production of Rambo 6.

The only confirmed project is a prequel called “John Rambo”
According to information on Wikipedia and from Millennium Media, in May 2025, a new film project was officially announced: “John Rambo”, directed by Jalmari Helander – who is famous for unique action films such as Big Game and Sisu.

The film will be a prequel, taking place before the events of First Blood (1982) and will not feature Sylvester Stallone.

The plot focuses on Rambo’s youth, from the time he joined the US Army, possibly including his time fighting in Vietnam.

The film will explore the formation of survival skills, psychological trauma of war, and the development of a lone warrior’s personality before becoming a legend.

Sylvester Stallone will NOT return for the prequel
Stallone has shared that if there is a prequel, a younger actor will be needed to portray the original Rambo. He also joked that he is now “struggling with osteoarthritis” and confirmed that he will not participate in acting or producing this film.

Rambo Love Still Burning in the Fan Community
Although Stallone has hinted at a sixth installment set in Native American territory, there has been no clear indication that Rambo 6: New Blood is in development. The trailers, posts, and related titles are all fan-generated creations.

Conclusion: Prequel Is Real – Sequel Still a Rumor

“Rambo 6: New Blood” is still just an unconfirmed rumor.
