The latest trailer for The Sopranos prequel The Many Saints Of Newark reveals that the upcoming movie will make a joke about iconic character Salvatore Bonpensiero that the original series never could. From current footage, it's clear that the movie will provide key background for a host of popular figures. However, owing to the nature of the original show and the complex pre-existing relationships between characters, some punchlines were simply off-limits.
Featuring the likes of Tony Soprano, Paulie Gualtieri and Silvio Dante, The Many Saints Of Newark includes returns for many of The Sopranos' most significant players. Set during the 1960s, the story follows Tony Soprano's mentor, Dickie Moltisanti, as well as chronicling the rise of the DiMeo crime family on the streets of Newark. Other members of Tony Soprano's future crew and associates to feature include baby Christopher Moltisanti, Artie Bucco and Beansie Gaeta.
Despite the veritable rogues' gallery of Sopranos regulars, one returning character is particularly eye-catching in the trailer. Salvatore Bonpensiero was long considered one of Tony Soprano's best friends before he became an informant for the authorities during season 2. His nickname "Big Pussy" was long considered a source of mystery, although it was regularly accepted by viewers as part of The Sopranos tapestry.
