This scene in The Many Saints of Newark trailer left fans heartbroken

We’re less than a month away from the highly anticipated Sopranos prequel movie – The Many Saints of Newark. And to reinforce the hype, Warner Bros. dropped a second official trailer of the movie. It was as expected – not giving too much away but keeping the fans on the edge. However, there was this one scene right at the end of the trailer that left Sopranos fans heartbroken. And this was because it was a huge callback to a massive death scene in the original show.

The Sopranos prequel is being highly anticipated by fans of the HBO Original seroes

By the looks of the trailer, The Many Saints of Newark is going to be a huge easter egg in itself. It is going to take us back to the Satriale’s neighborhood in Newark, New Jersey. But, not in the early 2000s like The Sopranos, but in the 60s at a time when Tony Soprano was young. Sadly, the actor who portrayed the iconic character of Tony Soprano, James Gandolfini, passed away in 2013. And that paved the way for his son Michael Gandolfini to take on a younger version of his father’s role in the Sopranos prequel.

Other than that, we’ll also be seeing younger versions of Paulie Walnuts, Silvio Dante, Corrado ‘Uncle Junior’ Soprano, Lyvia Soprano, Johnny Boy Soprano (Tony’s dad), Jackie Aprile, and many more. But, the character that will be at the center of the movie will be Dickie Moltisanti (Alessandro Nivola), who is the father of Christopher Moltisanti, Tony Soprano’s protege. Dickie was like a mentor to Tony, and that is what brings us to the one scene which broke the hearts of Sopranos fans when they saw The Many Saints of Newark trailer.

It’s like I scare him or something.

Then, an old lady on the same dinner table said:

Some babies when they come into the world know all kinds of things from the other side.
