Sylvester Stallone's Superhero Comes Out of Hiding In Samaritan Trailer
The official trailer for Samaritan shows off Sylvester Stallone's superhero coming out of hiding. The film features the three-time Oscar nominee as a retired superhero being dragged out of his reclusive life when he befriends a young boy, named Sam played by Euphoria and Umbrella Academy star Javon 'Wanna' Walton, who is shocked to learn that Granite City's vigilante hero survived the fire that broke out after his climactic battle with his rival, Nemesis, 20 years ago. The film was helmed by Overlord director Julius Avery from a screenplay by Escape Room scribe Bragi F. Schut, and the rest of the cast includes Pilou Asbæk, Moises Arias, Dascha Polanco, and Martin Starr, who plays Peter Parker's teacher Mr. Harrington in the MCU Spider-Man films.
Samaritan is a film that has been long awaited by curious fans of both Stallone and original superhero projects. It was originally slated for a theatrical released in December 2020, but production was shut down by the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, causing major delays. It was then believed that it would be coming to theaters in 2021, but it was eventually announced that it would become a Prime Video streaming exclusive due on August 26, 2022, making it one of the final delayed 2020 films to make its way into the market, after the release of the other pandemic-delayed holdouts Top Gun: Maverick and Minions: The Rise of Gru.
