The upcoming prequel, inspired by David Morrell’s 1972 novel “First Blood,” seems to delve into the origins of its protagonist – a troubled Vietnam War veteran and skilled warrior in weaponry, hand-to-hand combat, and guerrilla warfare. This role is set to be played by Noah Centino, who gained attention with his role in “The Fosters” and further rose to fame with his charming performance as Peter Kavinsky in the Netflix films “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.” Centino has also shared screen time with Dwayne Johnson in “Black Adam,” portraying Atom Smasher, and recently starred as Brian Zawi in Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland’s “Warfare” alongside Joseph Quinn, Kit Connor, Charles Melton, and D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai.
