The Rambo prequel has found its star

Noah Centineo is reportedly set to take on the role of John Rambo. For what it’s worth, Sylvester Stallone has no involvement in the project, so Centineo is not an officially anointed successor.

Centineo first broke out in the romantic comedy space with the ‘To All the Boys I Loved Before’ series. More recently, he has shifted toward action-heavy roles, starring in the Netflix series ‘The Recruit’ and appearing in the 2025 film ‘Warfare.’ He is also slated to play Ken in the upcoming ‘Street Fighter’ movie.

Centineo has experience with guns-and-war roles, which is central to the Rambo franchise. As a prequel, the film will almost certainly be set during the Vietnam War as John Rambo remains one of cinema’s most famous Vietnam veterans.

Will Centineo make a good Rambo? At the very least, he will make a less-jacked one.
