Sylvester Stallone’s return to the screen in Tulsa King Season 3 has fans buzzing—and not just because of the action sequences. But here’s where it gets controversial: while Stallone’s iconic roles dominate pop culture, the show’s supporting cast reveals a surprising diversity in their favorite Stallone films. And this is the part most people miss—when actors from such a high-profile project share personal, lesser-known preferences, it sparks a fascinating conversation about legacy versus individual taste. Let’s dive into the details.
Fresh off my exclusive sit-down with Sylvester Stallone himself (check out the full interview here and the video here), I had the privilege of chatting with Tulsa King’s stellar supporting cast. Names like Garrett Hedlund, Bella Heathcote, Jay Will, Martin Starr, Annabella Sciorra, Dana Delany, Kevin Pollak, and Beau Knapp joined the press junket, though Frank Grillo and Robert Patrick couldn’t make it. Fingers crossed JoBlo can catch up with them soon! To keep things fun, I asked every cast member their favorite Stallone movie. While Rocky and First Blood were expected favorites, a few surprises emerged—like mentions of Staying Alive or The Specialist. Could these underrated gems be the real hidden treasures of Stallone’s filmography? What do you think? Share your thoughts below!
Starting with the on-screen couple, Garrett Hedlund (Mitch) and Bella Heathcote (Chloe) opened up about the chaotic love story their characters navigate this season. Their chemistry was electric, and they hinted at the emotional rollercoaster ahead. Next, Jay Will, Annabella Sciorra, and Martin Starr discussed how their characters evolved since Season 2, weaving in subtle hints about future plot twists. Dana Delany, who plays Dwight’s love interest Margaret, and Kevin Pollak (as the trouble-making Special Agent Musso) brought their signature wit and depth, sharing behind-the-scenes anecdotes that made the interview feel like a front-row seat to the show’s creative process. Even via Zoom, Beau Knapp (Cole Dunmire) delivered a standout performance, detailing the physical demands of his role and the thrill of working alongside Stallone and Robert Patrick. The stories they shared? Pure gold for fans craving a peek behind the curtain.
And here’s the kicker: Tulsa King just got greenlit for a fourth season! (Details here) That means more drama, more Stallone magic, and more opportunities to debate what makes this show a modern classic. Have you caught up with Season 3 yet? If not, what are you waiting for? And if you have, drop a comment—what did you love (or hate) most about this latest chapter?
P.S. A quick shoutout to JoBlo’s Editor-in-Chief, whose film credentials are as impressive as they are eclectic. From *Goodfellas to Casablanca, and from James Bond to 80s new wave bands, their passion for cinema is contagious. Want to know their take on Scarface vs. The Godfather? You’re in luck—they’ve got opinions, and they’re not afraid to share them.*
