Sly will be released on Netflix this year. The first long trailer goes through various stages in Stallone’s life – and also lets you know them painful low points of the star.

Sly – Trailer 1 (English) HD
Sylvester Stallone was extremely unsuccessful in the 70s
In 1972, just before his breakthrough with Rocky, Stallone had nothing. He applied for an extra role in The Godfather – and didn’t get that job himself. “I couldn’t even be cast as an Italian. I’ll never forget that there was a party scene, with 300 guests! They said ‘no’. I said, ‘What part of me didn’t fulfill the Italian identification aspect?’.
The documentary will apparently explore this part of Stallone’s life in detail. In the trailer Stallone says: “I gave up acting. I was done.” But: “The rejection was my encouragement.“Because of course a Stallone documentary inevitably tells a hero’s journey.
When does Sly appear on Netflix?
On November 3, 2023 Netflix releases the Sylvester Stallone documentary worldwide. You can already watch the Arnold Schwarzenegger documentary (Arnold) on the streaming service.
