Noah Centineo—known to many from Black Adam and Netflix hits—has been tapped to star as a young John Rambo in a new Rambo prequel film, according to multiple reports. The project aims to explore the formative years of the iconic character made famous by Sylvester Stallone.
What We Know So Far
- The film is described as an origin story centered on Rambo’s early life as a Vietnam-era Green Beret and the experiences that forged the legendary veteran.
- Reporting confirms Centineo is attached to star; additional plot, production, and release details are still under wraps.
Why Noah Centineo?
Centineo’s recent pivots into action—most notably his role in Black Adam—signal a move from rom-com favorite to full-on action star. Taking on John Rambo marks his most ambitious turn yet and could launch a new era for the franchise.
How This Fits the Rambo Franchise
The prequel concept lets the series return to its gritty roots while introducing the character to a new generation. If executed well, it could expand the mythology without retreading the same ground as the original films.
