As a long-time fan of gritty crime dramas, I am absolutely thrilled about the addition of new characters in the second season of Tulsa King on Paramount Plus. The chemistry between Sylvester Stallone’s Dwight and the formidable Cal Thresher promises to deliver an exhilarating power struggle that I can hardly wait to witness.
As a cinephile, I must say that the ensemble of Tulsa King on Paramount Plus’s crime drama landscape is growing more intriguing by the second season. Being a mafia capo myself, I can relate to Sylvester Stallone’s character, Dwight “The General” Manfredi, who, after being exiled from New York, has established his turf in the bustling city of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The initial meeting between Dwight and Cal happens during a charity gathering organized by ranch proprietor Margaret Devereaux, and it’s almost tangible how their mutual tension fills the atmosphere right from the start, as they quickly find themselves at odds.
Dwight, with a show of pride, inquires, ‘Aren’t we good here?’ after Cal tells him to remain within his boundaries.
He hadn’t existed, but did,” he growls, unphased by the giant standing before him, who was starting to overstep into his territory.
Discussing the intense interactions with Stallone, whom McDonough referred to as “one of the all-time greats”, he stated: “I was so eager and self-assured in my portrayal of the character that when I arrived, Sly and I initially clashed for a couple of takes. My wife [producer and actor] Ruvé [Robertson] was on set at the time, and she advised, ‘Honey, you’re being a bit too assertive. He might not appreciate it. Don’t risk losing this fantastic opportunity.’
Next, Sly appears from the corner. He gazes at me with an expression, then breaks into a smile, wraps me in a big embrace, and says, “You’re part of the performance now.” He appreciates my dedication, which makes him happy.
He appreciates determination and found it exciting to see someone who was well-prepared and eager to engage, ready for a contest.
McDonough further explained that unlike some characters he’s portrayed, many of which were villains or morally ambiguous figures, he is in fact quite reserved and introverted.
He said, “My wife often refers to me as a solitary creature, like a lone wolf. I tend to prefer being on my own, rather than being very sociable.
However, when he transitions into performance mode, everything shifts – especially for this specific role.
As I step into the shoes of different characters, I find an exhilarating sense of liberty to shape their actions as I see fit. This freedom is truly awe-inspiring. With an unwavering belief in myself, I approach a set like a fortress, unafraid and brimming with determination. Working alongside a talent as formidable as Sylvester Stallone necessitates being at the top of your game, radiating confidence, and giving it my all because he stands strong in his decisions and self-assuredness.
He added: “It was an awesome test and I’m so proud of everything that we did this year on Tulsa King.”
In the second season, Dwight is determined to grow his domain, yet figures like Cal Thresher and Bill Bevilacqua aren’t going to let that happen without a fight.
Facing dangers posed by the Kansas City gang and a highly influential local tycoon, Dwight battles to protect his loved ones and team, all while managing his various responsibilities.
“Plus, he still has unfinished business back in New York…”
