Deadline is reporting that MGM’s Sylvester Stallone-led superhero thriller Samaritan has filled out its supporting cast ahead of production this coming week.

Joining Stallone in the cast of the film is young boxing prodigy Javon Walton (Euphoria), who will play a young boy who sets out to discover whether a legendary superhero (Stallone) may still be alive some twenty years after they disappeared in battle.
