What's the latest news about ‘Samaritan’?
The director and crew members describe the film as "bone-crunching". Unlike other superhero films, fans may expect this one to be a different and stripped-down form of movie than they may be used to from the genre and other Stallone films, for that matter. If you've seen the set photos Stallone has posted to his Instagram, it's clear that he is no longer in the killing machine shape he used to be in. From all appearances, he's an older man taking more than he can handle and down for the count. 'Samaritan' may, in a way, resemble Logan from 2017 as they both see a once-powerful hero having called it quits while on a journey to find hope once more.
