by

As a die-hard fan, I’ve been eagerly waiting for Sylvester Stallone, famous for his roles in Rocky and Rambo, to step into the world of full-fledged superheroes. Although his appearances in Judge Dredd and Guardians of the Galaxy were exciting, they didn’t quite fit the bill. However, when he finally donned a cape and acquired superpowers, it led to the highly controversial Samaritan. Now, this action-packed series is all set to stream for free!

Released in 2022, the film “Samaritan” opens with a young boy named Sam Cleary, aged 13, believing that his neighbor, Mr. Smith, might be a legendary superhero living among us. Directed by Julius Avery, “Samaritan” features Sylvester Stallone and Javon Walton from “The Umbrella Academy”, along with Martin Starr (from “Spider-Man: Far From Home”), Moisés Arias (from “The King of Staten Island”), Dascha Polanco (from “In the Heights”), Natacha Karam (“The Old Guard”), and Pilou Asbæk (“Game of Thrones”). The movie is scheduled to arrive on March 1st, and you can find more details in the official synopsis provided below.

13-year-old Sam Cleary (Javon “Wanna” Walton) harbors a suspicion that his enigmatic and secluded next-door neighbor, Mr. Smith (Sylvester Stallone), might actually be none other than a legendary figure disguised among us. It’s been two decades since the supposed demise of Granite City’s superhero, Samaritan, following an intense warehouse clash with his adversary, Nemesis. The general consensus is that Samaritan was incinerated in the inferno, but some residents, including young Sam, remain convinced he survived. As crime escalates and the city teeters on the edge of turmoil, Sam sets out to persuade his neighbor to emerge from seclusion, hoping he can prevent Granite City from descending into ruin.

‘Samaritan 2’ Is Now in the Works

The film titled “Samaritan” received mixed responses from critics when it was first released. On Rotten Tomatoes, it scored 38%, which is considered “rotten”. Critics commented that despite its potential, the movie, starring Sylvester Stallone as the lead in a superhero drama, lacked creative power. However, audiences had a more favorable reception towards the film, with “Samaritan” earning 70% on the Popcornmeter. The audience’s feedback praised Stallone’s solid performance and appreciated the movie’s unique take on the traditional superhero genre.

Regardless of your sentiments towards the original “Samaritan”, a superhero franchise was established, and now a sequel is underway. The production of “Samaritan 2” continues at Amazon MGM Studios, with Bragi F. Schut resuming his role as scriptwriter and Sylvester Stallone returning to portray the enigmatic character Joe Smith once more.

Although the specifics of Samaritan 2’s plot are being kept secret for now, the ending of the initial film leaves a significant amount of unresolved mystery that could be further explored in the sequel. The upcoming movie will likely address the shocking twist from the first movie where it was revealed that Sylvester Stallone’s character is not the titular superhero, but rather the villain Nemesis. This revelation comes with a major spoiler: his brother, who was the actual hero, perished during their confrontation years ago. As we anticipate the direction in which Samaritan 2 will go, it may be helpful to recall your thoughts on the first movie when it becomes available for free streaming next month.
