Noah Centineo to Star in RAMBO Prequel Film

More than four decades after Sylvester Stallone introduced us to the action hero known as Rambo, we are getting a prequel film in this universe. According to Deadline, John Rambo will go back to the character’s days during the Vietnam War. It’s pretty clear that those events are a major part of what shaped this gun-toting protagonist, so we can’t wait to see what happens. And, it seems this Rambo prequel film has likely found its star in Noah Centineo. He’s certainly an actor on an upward streak, with him also starring as Ken Masters in Legendary’s live-action Street Fighter movie. 

Things are still coming together for this film, which doesn’t have a home quite yet. The aforementioned Deadline report suggests that Lionsgate will land the film and that shooting will start in Thailand in 2026. Jalmari Helander is set to direct the Rambo prequel film with Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani penning the script.
