Evildoers beware! Sylvester Stallone is getting back in the ring with Amazon MGM Studios to develop Samaritan 2, a sequel to the Italian Stallion’s 2022 superhero action movie. Bragi F. Schut, who wrote the first film, returns to pen the sequel, with Stallone producing alongside his Balboa Productions partner Braden Aftergood. In addition to producing the film, Stallone reprises his role as Joe from the original.
Here’s the official synopsis for Samaritan:
Thirteen-year-old Sam Cleary (Javon “Wanna” Walton) suspects that his mysterious and reclusive neighbor Mr. Smith (Sylvester Stallone), is actually a legend hiding in plain sight. Twenty-five 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,...

Review: Speaking on behalf of JoBlo.com, I can say without a doubt that we all love Sylvester Stallone (we even have a show – Sylvester Stallone Revisited – dedicated to him). Personally, I have a soft spot for Stallone’s 1990s films which featured him playing the closest thing to a superhero before the days of Marvel Studios and the Dceu.

Samaritan is a new urban superhero action movie directed by Julius Avery and written by Bragi F. Schut. The film stars Sylvester Stallone, Dasha Polanco (Orange Is the New Black), Javon “Wanna” Walton (Euphoria) and Pilou Asbæk (Uncharted). This gritty story starts with promise, but the pacing comes to a screeching halt early on and never recovers. The cast is a solid mix of talented actors, but the script’s limitations restrict them. When stripped down to the basics, Samaritan is a colorless venture that’s very much been there, done that, especially for Stallone.
The cold, dank, post-apocalyptic location of Granite City needs heroes. The city’s people are stuck between two factions: those who idolize the costumed hero, the Samaritan, and those who worship the volatile supervillain, Nemesis — these two are identical twins. Twenty-five years ago, both of them died in a warehouse fire, with Nemesis leaving behind...

Prime Video unleashed a new Samaritan clip on Monday showing Sylvester Stallone‘s Joe cleaning up the streets of Granite City. Stallone is no stranger to action films with heart and feels at home in a city plagued by criminals, low lives, and those looking to punish the less fortunate. Thankfully, Joe’s coming out of retirement when the metropolis needs him the most. Please don’t call it a comeback. It’s a homecoming.
In the new Samaritan clip, Joe gets attacked in an alleyway by a knife-wielding individual. Annoyed at the thought of being stabbed, Joe hurls the man through a wall and into a nearby car. A little girl is standing nearby and witnesses everything. After she grills Joe with questions, another lawbreaker pulls the pin out of a grenade and tosses it at Joe’s feet. Joe picks up the girl and uses a car to shield her from the blast.

© 2022 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures Inc. All Rights Reserved. With his new movie, Sylvester Stallone is proving that you’re never too old to be a superhero. The 76-year-old actor stars in Samaritan, in which a long-dormant (and presumed missing) superhero is roused out of his retirement when his identity is discovered by a young boy. While Stallone says Samaritan isn’t like a lot of other superhero movies, it was exactly the kind of film he loves to make, where the film peels back complicated layers of seemingly simple characters.
