Sylvester Stallone didn’t just create cinema legends like Rambo and Rocky. In recent years he has also felt his way into superhero cinema. He was seen in the Marvel blockbuster Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and the DC hit The Suicide Squad, where he acted as hungry king shark became a scene thief.
Sylvester Stallone’s superhero film Samaritan is coming straight to Amazon Prime
With his next project, Samaritan, Stallone is taking on the lead role in a superhero film. However, expected no comic bombast. Rather, the film seems to move in the league of Unbreakable and Co. Originally slated to hit theaters, Samaritan is now set to be released on Amazon Prime.
The story of Samaritan begins with 13-year-old Sam Cleary (Javon ‘Wanna’ Walton) who suspects that a mysterious neighbor is moving in hides a big secret. As it turns out, he’s right: Mr. Smith, played by Stallone, is actually a superhero, but long since retired.
Many years ago he was as the Samaritans of Granite City known. However, he is said not to have survived the fateful battle against his archenemy. Yet people have never given up hope that one day the Samaritan will return. Sam wants to help the failed superhero back on his feet.
Samaritan guides you aging hero with a child together, which has a completely different view of the world. We’ve seen this combination a lot over the past few years, from Logan – The Wolverine to Obi-Wan Kenobi, where the Jedi Master meets the young Princess Leia.
When will Samaritan launch on Amazon Prime?
Samaritan starts on August 26, 2022 exclusively on Amazon Prime. The streaming service has already released the first images and a poster. The first trailer for Sylvester Stallone’s superhero film is expected to follow shortly. This was directed by Julius Avery, who previously directed Son of a Gun and Operation: Overlord.
