Here’s what we know about a potential sequel:
What is Samaritan about?
The movie focuses on the relationship between 13-year-old Sam and Joe, a reclusive garbage collector that lives in the apartment building opposite him. When Joe rescues Sam from a group of thugs, the boy begins to think his saviour is Samaritan, a superhero who apparently perished in a fire 25 years earlier after a battle with his villainous brother (aka Nemesis). As the movie progresses, we get to learn more about Joe and his real identity as he continues to protect Sam and the other residents of Granite City from a criminal gang led by the villainous Cyrus. Is Joe really a superhero? Or could he be somebody else entirely? And if Joe is Samaritan, could Nemesis be alive too? To find out these answers, you need to see the movie yourself or read our Ending Explained article.
Will There Be A Samaritan 2?
At the time of writing, Samaritan 2 has not been officially confirmed. The possibility of a follow-up movie will likely depend on viewing figures, critic reviews, and the availability of Sylvester Stallone who plays Joe.
What could Samaritan 2 be about?
If there is a sequel, we could see another face-off between the warring brothers if it transpires that neither of them died. I’m being careful not to reveal any spoilers here, just in case you haven’t seen Samaritan yet, but if you have seen it and you have your own story ideas, let us know in the comments below.
When could Samaritan 2 be released?
If a sequel is given the green light, we could see it at the end of 2023 or at some point in 2024. This would give Stallone enough time to finish work on Little America, a futuristic movie that is currently in pre-production. If a prequel movie is made, there could be an earlier release date. Should this take the form of an animated movie in the style of Samaritan‘s opening credit sequence, there is a chance that we could see it at some point next year.
