First Look at Netflix’s Sylvester Stallone Documentary ‘Sly’

The teaser for Netflix’s documentary Sly finds the film’s subject, Sylvester Stallone, admitting he has regrets. “Filmmaking, it comes at a great price,” says the three-time Oscar-nominated actor and filmmaker. “There’s no time for anything else.”

Netflix has been delving into the world of action stars with the three-part docuseries Arnold, a deep-dive into the life and career of Arnold Schwarzenegger that premiered on June 7, 2023, and now Sly, directed by Thom Zimny (Springsteen on Broadway, The Promise: The Making of Darkness on the Edge of Town).
