Fans of Tulsa King are buzzing as a new image from season 3 reveals a first-ever collaboration between Samuel L. Jackson and Sylvester Stallone. The photograph, shared by Stallone himself, shows the two legends in character on set, marking a milestone moment for both actors.
Jackson joins the series as Russell Lee Washington Jr., a seasoned figure aiming to carve out his own criminal empire in Oklahoma. His character is set to come into conflict with Stallone’s Dwight Manfredi over multiple episodes, promising high-stakes drama and intense power struggles. This storyline will form a core part of season 3’s narrative.
Season 2 concluded with Dwight legitimizing his businesses, providing legal cover for his continued underworld dealings. However, his kidnapping by a shadowy organization hinted at new challenges ahead. Enter Jackson’s character, whose ambitions clash with Dwight’s turf, setting the stage for explosive encounters.
Importantly, Jackson’s role in Tulsa King season 3 also serves as a springboard for his lead in the upcoming spinoff, NOLA King. This means his rivalry with Stallone’s character will likely wrap up by the season’s end, though the nature of their alliance or opposition remains a tantalizing mystery. Their shared scenes are expected to lay the foundation for the new series and expand the Tulsa King universe.
For two actors with decades of blockbuster experience but never before on the same project, this partnership is a rare treat. Their collaboration not only elevates season 3 but also signals a bold future for the franchise.
As production continues, anticipation builds for the new episodes, with Samuel L. Jackson’s introduction promising fresh intrigue and a dynamic expansion of the Tulsa King saga.
