In an exciting turn of events for superhero movie fans, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that a sequel to last year’s Samaritan is officially in the works. Sylvester Stallone, who brought to life the retired superhero in the original movie, is set to reprise his role, promising another thrilling adventure.
The Success of Samaritan
Samaritan, released on Prime Video, quickly became a fan favorite, holding the spot of the number-one movie on the platform for three weeks, according to Amazon’s reports. The film introduced viewers to the enigmatic character of Mr. Smith, played by Stallone, who is revealed to be a legendary superhero in hiding.
The Story Continues
The sequel will delve further into the world of Samaritan, with Bragi F. Schut, the writer of the original movie, returning to pen the script for the follow-up. The original film was directed by Overlord‘s Julius Avery, but it remains unconfirmed whether he will be directing the sequel.
Samaritan: A Unique Superhero Tale
Samaritan stands out as an original take in the superhero genre. It follows thirteen-year-old Sam Cleary, who suspects his reclusive neighbor, Mr. Smith, is the once-thought-dead superhero, Samaritan. With the city on the brink of chaos, Sam seeks to coax his neighbor out of hiding.
Stallone’s Superhero Legacy
Sylvester Stallone is no stranger to the superhero realm, having starred in Judge Dredd and appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Samaritan, however, offered an entirely fresh experience, blending the spirit of comic-book movies with Stallone’s iconic action-hero persona.
Anticipation for the Sequel
There is no release date announced yet for the Samaritan sequel, but anticipation is already building. Fans are eager to see Stallone once again take on a role that pushes the boundaries of what it means to be a superhero, especially at his age.
