- A 2021 version could star an Iraq veteran in a small town, working as a short-order cook who snaps early and drifts town to town like Bruce Banner.
- For a 2021 First Blood on Netflix, Michael B. Jordan as Rambo is not even a conversation.
- For Teasle, Vin or the Rock would be amazing if they would do it; John Ham is floated then set aside.
- Russell Crowe is the choice for a 50-to-55-year-old Teasle.
- Ben Affleck could also play Teasle if he wanted to.
- Rambo would have to be Black to give it a 2020s layer, since Vietnam and PTSD would not land the same way.
- Charlize Theron as a female Teasle who fought in the first Iraq war is another option.
- Kevin Costner as Troutman, who trained Jordan's Rambo, is a good call.
