Sylvester Stallone's New Superhero Movie SAMARITAN Gets a Poster and Photos
Prime Video has released a poster and a few photos offering a new look at Sylvester Stallone’s upcoming superhero film Samaritan.
In the film, “Thirteen-year-old Sam Cleary (Javon “Wanna” Walton) suspects that his mysterious and reclusive neighbor Mr. Smith (Stallone) is actually a legend hiding in plain sight. Twenty years ago, Granite City’s super-powered vigilante, Samaritan, was reported dead after a fiery warehouse battle with his rival, Nemesis. Most believe Samaritan perished in the fire, but some in the city, like Sam, have hope that he is still alive. With crime on the rise and the city on the brink of chaos, Sam makes it his mission to coax his neighbor out of hiding to save the city from ruin.”
This sounds like it was a great project for Stallone, who said in a statement: “I love action films that also have heart. I wanted to be involved with Samaritan because this story has many layers that I think people can relate to. It’s something of a morality tale that is also very exciting to watch. We are thrilled that this will be seen globally on Prime Video where my fans and all audiences can enjoy it together around the world.”
Samaritan was is directed by Julius Avery who previously helmed Overlord and Son of a Gun. The movie will premiere on August 26th, 2022, on Amazon Prime.
