Noah Centineo of To All the Boys I\u2019ve Loved Before and Street Fighter fame is starring as the titular gun-toting, bandana-wearing main character. The film&#8217;s is expected to tackle Rambo&#8217;s origin story.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The screenplay is by Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani, with Sisu&#8217;s Jalmari Helander directing. Original \u201880s star Sylvester Stallone and <u>Marvel regulars Anthony and Joe Russo<\/u> are executive producers.
