July 11, 2022

MGM Studios has released an official poster alongside photos from Samaritan, the upcoming action thriller starring Sylvester Stallone as a former superhero who has been off the radar for over two decades. The film will be available for streaming on August 26, exclusively on Prime Video.

The photos, which you can check out below, give us a new look at Stallone’s character, who is seen showing off his powers in one of the pictures. He is also accompanied by Euphoria star Javon “Wanna” Walton and Game of Thrones alum Pilou Asbæk.

Samaritan is directed by Julius Avery from a screenplay written by Bragi F. Scut. The film stars Sylvester Stallone, Javon “Wanna” Walton, Pilou Asbæk, Dascha Polanco, and Moises Arias.

“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.”

Samaritan is produced by Sylvester Stallone and Braden Aftergood, with Scut, David Kern, Adam Rosenberg, and Guy Riedel serving as executive producers
