EXTRACTED
SYLVESTER STALLONE
Executive Producer
Sylvester Stallone is a once-in-a-generation architect of popular culture, a writer, actor, director, producer, and franchise builder whose work has defined the modern screen hero. He has not just starred in hits; he has engineered them and is one of only two actors in history to star in a No. 1 box-office film in six consecutive decades, with more than $7.5 billion in worldwide box office to his name. He built three of cinema’s most enduring franchises from the ground up: the Rocky saga he wrote and embodied across six films, later reborn in the Creed universe; the Rambo series, spanning five films from First Blood to Rambo: Last Blood, which turned John Rambo into a global symbol for battle-scarred resilience; and The Expendables, four films deep, a self-aware action pantheon he co-created and led from the front. Along the way, he seared his presence into the culture with era-defining titles like Nighthawks, Over the Top, Lock Up, Tango & Cash, Cobra, Cliffhanger, Demolition Man, Judge Dredd, The Specialist, and the acclaimed Cop Land. He then expanded his legacy into the modern superhero era by stepping into the Marvel and DC universes in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Vol. 3 and The Suicide Squad.
On television, Stallone shattered precedent with Tulsa King, his first lead in a scripted series, created with Taylor Sheridan, a breakout global hit for Paramount+ that has spawned the spinoff NOLA King, starring Samuel L. Jackson. In unscripted, he executive-produced and fronted the smash-hit boxing competition series The Contender for NBC, co-created the global hit physical competition series Ultimate Beastmaster for Netflix, and opened his own doors with the acclaimed Netflix documentary Sly and the hit Paramount+ series The Family Stallone. As the founder of Balboa Productions, Stallone has powered recent successes including the global streaming hit Samaritan for Amazon MGM Studios, the blockbuster Creed III for MGM/Warner Bros., and A Working Man, which opened at No. 1 at the U.S. box office for Amazon MGM Studios. Next up, cameras roll on Thornton, the high-profile Amazon MGM Studios feature starring Reacher’s Alan Ritchson, while the breakout survival competition series Extracted storms back with Season 2 on FOX. Recently named a 2025 Kennedy Center Honoree and set to publish his book The Steps on May 5, 2026, as the world approaches the 50th anniversary of Rocky, Stallone continues to build a legacy defined by resilience, reinvention, and an unshakable refusal to stay down.
