\n\tEXCLUSIVE: Following word this past spring that a package was coming together for a Rambo<\/a> prequel<\/a>, Millennium Media<\/a> looks to have its man as sources tell Deadline that Noah Centineo<\/a> is attached to star in John Rambo<\/a>. Sisu\u00a0director Jalmari Helander<\/a> is set to direct from a screenplay by writing duo Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani.<\/p>\n

\n\tSources say that the package still has a couple of hurdles to overcome, but things are headed in the right direction with hopes to shoot top of 2026 in Thailand. Insiders also add that while no deals are in place, Lionsgate is the front-runner to land the package. The studio has released the past two Rambo pics and also has a relationship with Helander having worked with him on Sisu.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film\u2019s plot is under wraps, but it will be the origin story of a young John Rambo during the Vietnam War. One of the most iconic action heroes in U.S. cinema, the character was created by David Morell in his novel\u00a0First Blood. The original 1982 film saw saw Sylvester Stallone<\/a> play the veteran Green Beret, who is forced by a cruel sheriff and his deputies to flee into the mountains and wage an escalating one-man war against his pursuers. The five movies in the franchise have generated more than $800 million worldwide; the most recent, 2019\u2019s Rambo: Last Blood, produced by Millennium and Sly\u2019s Balboa, made $92M at the box office.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for Stallone, when Deadline first reported on the package, insiders told Deadline he was aware of the project but was not involved, and as of today that remains the same. Sources now say that Stallone has been alerted to Centineo\u2019s attachment.<\/p>\n

\n\tProducers on the latest installment are Kevin King-Templeton on behalf of Templeton Media, Les Weldon, Jonathan Yunger and Avi Lerner. Executive producers include Trevor Short and Bonfire Legends\u2019 Dallas Sonnier and Amanda Presmyk.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for Centineo, his star has been on the rise after breakout roles in the Netflix hit series To All the Boys I Loved Before and The Recruit<\/a>, but this is sort of role that could launch a young star onto the A-list. Up next, he will star as Ken Masters<\/a> in Legendary\u2019s live-action adaptation of Street Fighter, starring opposite Jason Momoa and Andrew Koji. Directed by Kitao Sakurai, the film is slated for release in 2026.<\/p>\n

\n\tMost recently, Centineo appeared in A24\u2019s Warfare from Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland, as well as in Oscar Boyson\u2019s directorial debut Our Hero, Balthazar, which he also produced under his Arkhum banner. The latter premiered at this year\u2019s Tribeca Film Festival.<\/p>\n
