As a movie enthusiast who’s seen more action movies than I can count, it’s always a thrill to see a Hollywood legend like Sylvester Stallone stepping out of his comfort zone and into a villainous role. The first trailer for Armor promises an adrenaline-pumping ride that’s sure to keep us on the edge of our seats.
Legendary actor Sylvester Stallone reappears in a new line of work in the debut trailer for “Armor.” In this film, Stallone, famously known for his role in Rambo, is portrayed as the head of a group of criminals attempting to rob an armored truck. The movie is scheduled for release next month by Lionsgate, and the initial sneak peek promises a shift in character for Stallone towards more villainous roles. The action sequences appear to be more confined, with most events taking place inside the armored truck and on a narrow bridge, suggesting a solitary and intense action-packed adventure.

Action Fans Love Seeing Sylvester Stallone Break Bad
Known for his roles as an action hero, Sylvester Stallone typically avoids portraying villains. However, the upcoming film ‘Armor’ seems to buck this trend, placing him firmly in the antagonist role. Although the story could still have unexpected twists and turns, for now it appears that Stallone is embodying a villainous character. Fans are excited about this change, with @KamiliaHaraQoo expressing, “It’s great to see Sly in a villainous role,” and @thargett adding, “Older Stallone offers a different vibe compared to his younger self, and it’s amazing.” @bushmaster2000 is also looking forward to the film, stating, “I can’t wait for Armor! A classic 80’s action star from my childhood. I’m all in!
Besides his role as Armor, Sylvester Stallone has made a significant impact in the Paramount+ series Tulsa King, playing Dwight “The General” Manfredi, a capo from the Invernizzi family who was released after serving 25 years in prison for murder and sent to Tulsa. The series, marking Stallone’s first significant small-screen role, has been well-received by both the actor and the streaming platform. In fact, the Season 2 premiere broke viewership records for the show.
In the works, Sylvester Stallone has multiple action-packed projects lined up. For their next collaboration, the multitalented actor, screenwriter, and director will team up once more with his Expendables co-star and fellow action legend Jason Statham in the upcoming film “Levon’s Trade.” In this story, an ex-black ops agent, played by Stallone, finds himself drawn back into action when a young girl goes missing from his tranquil new life. Stallone himself wrote the script for this gripping tale that showcases his unique skill set.
