The new Rambo has been chosen and it will be …
For the first time, the famous soldier will not be played by Stallone, but by a young actor from Netflix: Noah Centineo!
It is one of the most cult roles of Sylvester Stallone. But soon it will no longer be him, Rambo.
Millennium Media has chosen the actor who will play the young version of the cult character in the next film John Rambo. A first in the history of the franchise, since the role had never been entrusted to another actor than the American icon. Stallone had for the first time endorsed the trellis of the lone wolf in 1972 in First Bloodkicks off a saga of action which has become mythical, which earned him an appointment to the Oscars.
It must be said that this new project will recount its first missions, during the Vietnam War. And it is therefore Noah Centineo who will play the role of Rambo in this prequel returning to the youth of John and his origins.
Accustomed to action, Noah Centineo recently demonstrated his talents in combat in the spy series Recruit For Netflix, after exploding in the romantic trilogy To all the boys I liked who had propelled him to the front of the stage. We have also seen it recently as a soldier in Warfare of Alex Garland. And soon he will put Ken’s costume in the live-action adaptation of Street Fighterexpected in theaters in 2026.
For the time being, the project John Rambo has not yet found an official distributor, even if Lionsgate would hold the rope to seize it. The shooting is planned for this fall in Thailand, under the direction of Jalmari Helander (Sisu,, Big game), on a scenario signed Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani. Production will be provided by Kevin King-Templeton.
Stallone does not participate directly in this new adventure, but would however be kept informed of its evolution. We do not yet know what he thinks of Noah Centineo in Rambo.
