I really cant think of anyone who can be cast as John Rambo from First Blood. Ryan Gosling has too much swagger and a cool smooth operator style.

I would probably go with Christian Bale or Channing Tatum. There needs to be a little psychosis going on with crazy dedication to the mission. Just tells you how really Sly nailed Rambo in First Blood.

Tatum is one of those actors I'll never get why he got famous. I just see his dumb face trying to act, every role he is in. Jump Street, Foxcatcher, that Fighter movie or whatever it was. It's just Channing Tatum trying to be an actor instead of actual acting. Bale is amazing tho. Would like to see that, or Tom Hardy.

As others already said: I could see Gosling doing the silent, broken character again (I imagine he is sick of it). Just buff him up, grow a beard and change his hairstyle and you're good to go. And I found this:

After Blade Runner, Rambo. Gosling taking over all of your favourites. Next up: Indiana Jones. (joke, but it would be fun to see the meltdown).
 
Gosling, wonderful actor?

I think it's more important to see who would star in the remake of Assassins

Sylvester Stallone/Robert Rath - Bradley Cooper
Antonio Banderas/Miguel Bain - Oscar Isaac

I laughed
 
I can easily see Gosling. In Drive he was channeling some early Stallone.

The first Rambo is also nothing like the comic book character he became in the sequels and pop culture afterwards.

He's a tortured vietnam vet having a mental breakdown. Hell, in the original book Trautman blows his head off with a shotgun at the end.
 
OP taking a joke too serious. Yikes.

Whut, I literally said in the OP that it won't happen (soon anyway) but it would be fun to talk about it. But it's just a matter time tbh, they will remake/do sequels of those movies. Whether Stallone is around when they do it, who knows. There will be a Rambo movie without Stallone at one point.

Watch The Believer, Half Nelson, Fracture, The Place Beyond the Pines and The Ides of March.

He's a great actor. He just has the unfortunate tendency to pick weak material.

Lars and the Real girl and Blue Valentine were his best performances imo.
