‘Samaritan’ Trailer – ‘Overlord’ Director Turns Sylvester Stallone into a Violent Superhero

Julius Avery (Overlord) is back with Samaritan this summer, and the Sylvester Stallone-starring superhero movie has resurfaced this morning with the official trailer from Prime Video.

MGM Studios announced earlier this month that Samaritan will unmask the truth on August 26, and the film will now be available exclusively through Amazon Prime Video.

“Based on an original idea, the thriller centers on a young boy who is out to discover if a mythic superhero, who vanished 20 years earlier following a tragic event, is still alive.”

“This is a big event movie – we see our heroes kicking ass,” Avery had recently told Total Film. “We’re going to see Sly do things he hasn’t done in a long time, and in a really inventive way. He’s 73 years old! I’m amazed by how much he actually does. I’m telling you, most guys in their twenties wouldn’t be able to do what Sly does in this movie.”

Bragi F. Schut (Escape Room) wrote the script.

Watch the Samaritan trailer below, which looks like a classic Stallone action movie that’s been filtered through the lens of our modern superhero obsession. Think Batman… meets Rambo!
