Nemesis: ‘Samaritan’ establishes itself as the most watched film on Amazon Prime Video with Sylvester Stallone

Amazon Prime Video added a big point by expanding its superhero productions with the premiere of “Samaritan” on August 26 on its streaming platform. The film was perhaps the most anticipated debut of this streaming house, since it would mean the first starring role of actor Sylvester Stallone as a true superhero despite having already ventured into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the past.

“Samaritan” or also known as “Nemesis”, has joined the countless superhero movies that the film industry offered, with the promise of becoming a big hit, but that it would not become a myth as Rocky and Rambo were at the time for its protagonist.

As it was always destined to be a hit, it was initially considered that we would see it in theaters, a fact that never materialized in a consequence of Amazon’s purchase of MGM. The strategy changed and “Samaritan” came straight to the streaming platform and a wave of promotions turned Stallone into a superpowered hero like “The Boys” for this same company.

The opportunity to have his first starring role as a superhero came hand in hand with this film for Stallone, just five years after his MCU debut as Stakar in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2‘, a role that he will repeat for the third episode, but which, in this universe, was secondary.

Fans believed and continue to comment that Sylvester deserves to have a starring role in one of the two greatest superhero universes, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or the DC Extended Universe, his talent, musculature and career would come together. perfectly adapted, as they explain.
