The reaction of Sylvester Stallone to Tulsa King-Yellowstone Mashup
Sylvester Stallone has established his iconic status in Hollywood with acclaimed roles in ‘Rocky,’ ‘Rambo,’ ‘The Expendables,’ and ‘Escape Plan.’ His recent stint as lead star Dwight “The General” Manfredi in the highly anticipated series, ‘Tulsa King,’ has also been gathering a lot of buzz.
Recently, Stallone addressed the speculation about a potential crossover between ‘Tulsa King’ and ‘Yellowstone,’ another popular series directed by Taylor Sheridan. However, his response might disappoint fans hoping for such a collaboration.
Stallone Squashes Crossover Talk
During a recent roundtable discussion, Stallone was asked about the possibility of a ‘Tulsa King’ and ‘Yellowstone’ crossover. Given that both shows are under Sheridan’s directorship, the query was not far-fetched.
Stallone responded with humor initially, pretending to ready his ‘Tulsa King’ character, Dwight Manfredi, to kill Kevin Costner’s character, John Dutton from ‘Yellowstone.’ However, he quickly lowered fan expectations by stating that this crossover is unlikely.
Stallone Does Tease Some Yellowstone Inspiration
Although Stallone dismissed the likelihood of a crossover, he did hint at the blending of themes between the two shows. According to Stallone, ‘Tulsa King’ will borrow some Western aspects from ‘Yellowstone,’ featuring elements such as cowboys and oil barons in forthcoming episodes.
This suggests that while ‘Tulsa King’ may not exist within the ‘Yellowstone’ universe, it may start to look and feel similar, at least thematically. However, Stallone clarified that even with this thematic merge, the Tulsa King character is unlikely to find himself residing in John Dutton’s guest house.
Potential Influence of Western Themes on Tulsa King
Stallone’s hint at introducing Western themes into ‘Tulsa King’ could bring an exciting and unexpected twist for the fans of this critically acclaimed series. The possible inclusion of ‘cowboy culture’ and the gritty world of ‘oil barons’ is a promising sign of expanding plotlines and deeper character development.
However, fans who appreciated ‘Tulsa King’ for its distinct tone may worry about the show losing its unique edge. Still, Sheridan’s proven expertise in handling both shows separately should put such concerns to rest.
‘Ride off into Sunset’ on September 5th, 2024
The second season of ‘Tulsa King,’ where these ‘Yellowstone’-inspired elements are set to appear, is slated for a premiere on September 5th, 2024 on Paramount+. While Stallone’s hints at ‘Tulsa King’ borrowing from ‘Yellowstone’ mark a different direction for the show, fans must wait to see how the series evolves in its second season. Despite ruling out the direct crossover, Stallone’s comments suggest that the two series might influence each other in more subtle, thematic ways, thus keeping the speculation alive for viewers and commentators alike.
