Noah Centineo is headed to the jungle in a prequel to Sylvester Stallone's classic Rambo action movie franchise. The To All the Boys actor will do more kicking than kissing as he plays the young version of Green Berets soldier John Rambo, who first appeared in author David Morrell's 1972 novel, First Blood, and was played by Stallone in five blockbuster movies. Jalmari Helander - the director behind groundbreaking action hit Sisu - was hired by producers Millennium Media in March 2025 to bring an origin story by Black Adam writers Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani to life.
