The images give us our first look at Euphoria star Javon Walton as Sam Cleary, a character who will play a crucial role in Samaritan alongside Stallone as the titular superhero. Samaritan begins when a young boy comes to the realization that a famed superhero, who was thought to have gone missing after an epic battle twenty years ago, may in fact still be around. Now living as a sanitation worker named Joe Smith, can Sam convince Samaritan to return to his superheroic duties?

The images reveal that, yes, Joe Smith will once again accept his great power and thus his great responsibility, with one shot, in particular, showing Stallone throwing several adversaries to one side with the kind of ease that can only come from super-strength.

Directed by Overlord’s Julius Avery and produced by Sylvester Stallone and Braden Aftergood from a screenplay by Bragi F. Schut, Samaritan stars Sylvester Stallone (Rambo: Last Blood, Creed 2) as Joe Smith AKA Samaritan and Javon Walton (Euphoria, The Umbrella Academy) as Sam Cleary alongside Martin Starr (Spider-Man: Far From Home), Moisés Arias (The King of Staten Island), Dascha Polanco (In the Heights), Natacha Karam (The Old Guard), Pilou Asbæk (Game of Thrones), as well as Jared Odrick, Michael Aaron Milligan, and Deacon Randle.

Samaritan Will Provide R-Rated Superhero Shenanigans

Samaritan will lean into being a superhero movie with Rambo star Sylvester Stallone at its center, providing all manner of R-rated shenanigans as the retired superhero returns to clean up the streets. While Stallone did provide the voice of The Suicide Squad scene-stealer King Shark, director Julius Avery meanwhile is excited to bring Stallone into the superhero genre proper.

Fans have been waiting patiently for the release of Samaritan, with filming wrapping back in November 2020. Samaritan is based on an original idea and script from Escape Room writer Bragi F. Schut with the project being described as “a dark, new take on superhero movies.”
