The trailer’s opening scene introduced Stallone as “one of the world’s biggest stars,” and invites the audience to see the actor from a different perspective from what he is known for.

The clip also detailed an instance where Al Pacino was seen playfully teasing his friend about the presence of reality show cameras.”I feel as if I’ve just jumped into ‘Stallone World!'” Al Pacino said.
