When can we expect to see Sylvester Stallone back on the big screen? Recently, he made an appearance promoting the second season of his reality show, The Stallone Family. The legendary actor, known for his iconic roles in Rocky and Rambo, has a plethora of exciting projects lined up, some of which have been in development for quite a while. Let’s dive into the details as we celebrate the broadcast of Rocky 2: The Revenge on 6Ter.
Upcoming Films Featuring Sylvester Stallone
Stallone has wrapped up filming for two action-packed movies that are set to hit theaters soon. The first one is titled Armor, directed by Justin Routt. The gripping trailer hints at a thrilling plot where a father and son, working as security agents for an armored truck company, find themselves ensnared in a dangerous encounter with a gang of thieves on a bridge. While the release date remains under wraps, anticipation is certainly building.
Another film already in the can is Alarum, helmed by Michael Polish and penned by Alexander Vesha (known for Deadly Impact). This action thriller revolves around two professional hitmen, Joe and Lara Travers (played by Scott Eastwood and Willa Fitzgerald), who attempt to leave their dark past behind for a life of love. However, their plans are derailed when they stumble upon a plane crash and retrieve a top-secret USB drive, inadvertently triggering a worldwide manhunt led by Chester (Stallone), a relentless CIA agent. With a cast that includes Mike Colter, Isis Valverde, and D.W. Moffett, this film promises to deliver high-octane action reminiscent of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Exciting New Ventures
In a new collaboration with Amazon Prime, Stallone will star in Never Too Old to Die, an action-comedy where he embodies a retired spy. When a friend is murdered in a nursing home, this Cold War veteran springs into action to uncover the assassin hiding among the elderly residents.
Stallone is set to return to his Rocky roots with The Epiphany, a film that will take him back to Philadelphia. As revealed by Deadline, this project diverges significantly from the Rocky narrative. Stallone will portray a tough police inspector on the brink of retirement, who joins forces with a young cop and a former priest to track down a serial killer terrorizing the city. Directed by William Eubank (known for Paranormal Activity Next of Kin), filming is slated to commence this summer in Philadelphia.
Moreover, the artist is working on Little America, directed by Rowan Athale, which is currently in pre-production. This intriguing tale is set in a dystopian future where a Trump-like president leads the nation into financial ruin, forcing many Americans to seek employment in China. In this new reality, a former military operative is tasked with infiltrating an American ghetto to rescue a billionaire’s daughter.
Additionally, Stallone is involved in Scavenger Hunt, directed by Elle Callahan, where a group of students embarks on an ancient ritual that takes a chaotic turn.
Lastly, fans can look forward to Samaritan 2, the highly anticipated sequel to The Samaritan, which debuted on Prime Video in August 2022. In this follow-up, Stallone reprises his role as an aging superhero who mentors a teenager.
