Lionsgate has scheduled “John Rambo,” the next installment described as a prequel to the action franchise, for a June 4, 2027 theatrical release. Multiple outlets report the film will open in the post–Memorial Day period. The announcement places “John Rambo” on the same date as at least one other wide release, described as an untitled feature from Paramount. The timing also situates the film in a busy summer window, with Disney/Lucasfilm’s “Star Wars: Starfighter” releasing before it on May 28, according to one report. Other major studio releases also fall around the same period, including Sony’s “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse” on June 11 and a Warner Bros. “Oceans” prequel later in the month, as cited by one of the sources. The reporting identifies the Lionsgate film as a prequel focused on Rambo and does not add further plot details beyond its franchise positioning.
