Actor discovered for John Rambo prequel role, as portrayed by Rambo - "John Rambo" prequel cast reveals star of "Rambo" series

In a thrilling turn of events, Noah Centineo is set to take on the iconic role of a younger John Rambo in the upcoming prequel film titled John Rambo. This fresh take on the classic franchise, directed by Finnish director Jalmari Helander, will delve into the origins of the character, focusing on his time as an elite Green Beret during the Vietnam War [1][2].

Rambo, a traumatized and taciturn war veteran, was famously portrayed by Sylvester Stallone in the "Rambo" film series, but the veteran actor will not be involved in this project, as confirmed by Deadline.com [1].

The story aims to explore the psychological and physical journey that shaped the young Rambo into the character seen in the original First Blood film from 1982 [1][2]. Centineo, known for his roles in the Netflix series The Recruit and the 2022 superhero film Black Adam alongside Dwayne Johnson, is an exciting choice for the role [1][2][3].

Production for John Rambo is set to begin early next year, with filming tentatively scheduled in Thailand [1]. This prequel promises to offer a captivating portrayal of a young Rambo, shedding light on the events that led to his transformation into the formidable character we know today.
