Perhaps the best known of the three is Asbæk, who embodies Cyrus, the villain of the film. Many will know the actor as Euron Greyjoy from Game of Thrones. However, with roles in Ghost in the Shell, Uncharted and the horror smash Operation: Overlord, he is no stranger to blockbusters and genre films.

The biggest role among the three stars is without question Javon Walton. Young Sam grows up between poverty and crime. When gang members attack him, it draws out the Samaritan (Stallone) for the first time in years. Walton is known to many for his role Ashtray in Euphoria, but also played larger roles in Utopia and The Umbrella Academy.

Among the members of Cyrus’ street gang is Sil. Actress Sophia Tatum has only been cast in a few major roles so far, but already has a few impressive titles on her resume. She starred in Riverdale as Agent Drake and played Jenny Tuffield in the unfortunately cancelled Netflix series I Am Not Okay With This. She also made a small appearance in Fast & Furious 9.
