Amazon Prime is prepping another superhero run with a sequel to last year’s Sylvester Stallone headliner, Samaritan, with Stallone starring and producing via Balboa Productions with Braden Aftergood. The hit film will see Stallone reprise his role in the James Avery-directed 2022 action adventure with Bragi F. Schut returning to pen as well as exec produce the sequel alongside Adam Rosenburg.
Samaritan joins Stallone with Javon “Wanna” Wallace and Pilou Asbæk in the story of a kid whose obsession with a reclusive neighbor thought to be a superhero twenty years in hiding results in the mysterious man’s re-emergence when an evil crimeboss threatens Granite City. Stallone’s addition was etched in per a deal made long before the SAG-AFTRA strike which began in July.
