Warfare<\/a> star Noah Centineo has reportedly been cast as a young Rambo in an upcoming prequel film.<\/p>\n

According to a Deadline Hollywood report<\/a>, Millennium Media was workshopping a Rambo origin film earlier this year<\/a>, and have now seemingly found their lead star in the form of Noah Centineo.<\/p>\n

Concrete details surrounding the film\u2019s development have yet to be shared, though Deadline\u2018s sources claim that filming is due to begin at the start of next year in Thailand, with Sisu director\u00a0Jalmari Helander at the helm and writing duo Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani penning a script.<\/p>\n

The prequel film\u2019s plot is also currently under wraps, but according to Deadline, will explore a young John Rambo\u2019s origin story set in the Vietnam war before the events of 1982\u2019s First Blood.<\/p>\n

Deadline also reports that while original franchise star Sylvester Stallone<\/a> is aware of the developments being made, he is not attached to the project in any capacity. Neither Centineo nor Millennium Media have addressed the casting rumours.<\/p>\n

Besides starring in Warfare, Centineo is also known for roles in Black Adam, To All The Boys I Loved Before, The Recruit, The Perfect Date and more. He is also slated to star as Ken Masters in an upcoming live-action adaptation of Street Fighter.<\/p>\n

In February last year, Stallone spoke of passing the torch to another actor<\/a> \u2013 and it wasn\u2019t Centineo. Speaking of a run-in he had with Ryan Gosling, the Rocky star said:\u00a0\u201cI met [Gosling] at a dinner. [Gosling] goes, \u2018I was fascinated by\u00a0Rambo\u00a0and I used to go to school dressed as Rambo and people would chase me away and I still didn\u2019t stop. I\u2019d vacation as Rambo.\u2019 He just kept saying that he had a lot of affiliation with\u00a0Rambo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I thought, you know, this is interesting. If I ever pass the baton, I\u2019ll pass it on to him because he loves the character,\u201d Stallone added at the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warfare star Noah Centineo has reportedly been cast as a young Rambo in an upcoming prequel film.
