Samaritan is an upcoming American superhero film directed by Julius Avery (Son of a Gun, Overlord), written by Bragi F. Schut, and starring Sylvester Stallone (Rocky, First Blood) in the title role, Javon Walton (Euphoria), Pilou Asbæk (Game of Thrones), Dascha Polanco (In the Heights), and Moises Arias (The King of Staten Island).
Described as a dark, new take on superhero movies, the story follows a young boy who comes to the realization that a famed superhero, who was thought to have gone missing after an epic battle twenty-five years ago, may in fact still be around. It was previously adapted into the Mythos Comics graphic novels by Schut, Marc Olivent, and Renzo Podesta. It is a co-production of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Balboa Productions.
Samaritan is scheduled to be released on August 26, 2022, by United Artists Releasing and Amazon Studios via streaming on Prime Video. Watch the official trailer below.
