Samaritan Image Gives New Look At Sylvester Stallone's Retired Superhero
Sylvester Stallone is a grizzled old retired superhero in a new image from the long-awaited movie Samaritan. Stallone of course became a screen legend playing the underdog boxer Rocky Balboa and the underdog soldier John Rambo in two of film history’s most successful franchises. Now the star will try to make magic again by playing an underdog ex-superhero in the gritty action movie Samaritan.

The Rocky star obviously has already appeared in one huge comic book movie franchise, playing Stakar Ogord in James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (a role he will reprise in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3). Samaritan however sees Stallone not as a supporting performer but a full headliner, playing a once-famous superhero who’s vanished entirely from the scene until a young boy (Javon Walton) finds him living anonymously as a garbage man.
