From Netflix Star to Action Hero: Noah Centineo Becomes the New Rambo

Centineo’s career began on the TV series The Fosters before he skyrocketed to fame in Netflix’s romantic hit To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before as Peter Kavinsky. Since then, his career has evolved far beyond heartthrob status.

Highlights of his film and television work include:

  • The Recruit (Netflix) – A spy adventure series where he starred and executive produced.

  • Black Adam (2022) – Playing Atom Smasher alongside Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

  • Warfare (A24) – Taking on the role of Brian Zawi in Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland’s gritty war drama.

  • Charlie’s Angels (2019) and Sierra Burgess Is a Loser (2018) – Expanding his range in both action and comedy.


Expanding His Role Behind the Camera

Centineo is not only building his acting career but also shaping stories behind the scenes. He co-founded Arkhum Productions with Enzo Marc, debuting their first feature Our Hero, Balthazar at the Tribeca Film Festival. Directed by Oscar Boyson, the black comedy follows a privileged teenager who uses social media activism to gain attention—until a chilling encounter with an online troll changes everything.


What Fans Can Expect from John Rambo


The upcoming prequel will focus on Rambo’s early years, giving fans a chance to see how the troubled soldier became the battle-hardened figure known worldwide. While Sylvester Stallone’s portrayal remains iconic, Centineo’s take offers a fresh perspective for new audiences.

The big question is: Will Noah Centineo bring the same grit, intensity, and depth that made John Rambo an action legend?
