New on Prime Video: Sylvester Stallone is set to reprise his classic role as a badass hero in the new show The Samaritan on Amazon Prime in a few days.
Stallone will play a live-action superhero for the first time in his several decades long career as he takes on the role of Joe Smith, a.k.a. Samaritan, in Julius Avery’s upcoming movie.
The movie is all set to release at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT on Friday, August 26.
The 76-year-old is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, with a huge fanbase looking forward for him to venture into this new character. The story is based on the graphic novels of the same name by Bragi F. Schut,—who also penned the script for the film—Marc Olivent, and Renzo Podesta.
“In the film, thirteen-year-old Sam Cleary suspects that his mysterious and reclusive neighbor Mr. Smith is actually a legend hiding in plain sight,” reads the synopsis. “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.”
Stallone produced Samaritan with Braden Aftergood. Schut, David Kern, Adam Rosenberg, and Guy Riedel serve as executive producers.
