10 Upcoming Movies That Sound Utterly Insane

4. Samaritan

Rambo Last Blood Sylvester Stallone
Lionsgate

The Elevator Pitch: Sylvester Stallone is a retired superhero in this brutal, bloody action-thriller.

At 75 years of age, you'd think that Sylvester Stallone would be starting to slow things down a bit. Yet, as evidenced by his current output, he's doing anything but.

Despite being involved in The Suicide Squad, Expendables 4, and Guardians Of The Galaxy 3, Samaritan might be the most exciting project he's got on his docket right now, with the film reportedly being one of the best things shown at CinemaCon 2021.

From director Julius Avery - helmer of the criminally-underrated Overlord - Samaritan offers a wildly different take on the superhero genre, with Stallone's super-powered Stanley Kominski living in retirement after a tragic event several decades prior.

The film's action has been described as "bone-crunching and badass", placing it far, far away from the family-friendly fun of the MCU. Watching Stallone wreck shop is always a good time, but dialling up the bloody action by giving him super-powers is sure to make Samaritan one of the craziest movies he's done in decades.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
