James Eward Franco, the American actor and filmmaker, is said to be joining the upcoming ‘John Rambo’ prequel, where he is expected to act as a villain.
This is said to be Franco’s most high-profile Hollywood project and biggest comeback since taking a step back from the industry in 2018 following sexual misconduct allegations.
The actor, who has starred in numerous films such as Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the Spider-Man trilogy, and Oz the Great and Powerful, has remained a recognisable figure in American cinema despite periods away from large studio projects.
Franco’s role will be small compared to those of Noah Centineo as Rambo and David Harbour as Commanding Officer, Major Trautman.
According to reports surrounding the production, the prequel will explore the early years of iconic action character John Rambo before the events of the original films that helped establish the franchise as a global success.
