From London’s Culinary Icon to a New Chapter in an Expanding Cinematic Universe

NEW YORK, NY

Ciro Orsini, the celebrated restaurateur, entrepreneur, entertainer, and humanitarian, is bringing his natural charisma, strength, and unmistakable presence to the screen as Sergeant Saber in Stan Lee’s LEGION OF 5.

The role opens an entirely new dimension in his remarkable journey, from the boxing ring and military service to commanding one of London’s most iconic dining rooms and now entering an expanding cinematic superhero universe built around original characters and stories created by Stan Lee.

There is something Ciro possesses that cannot be manufactured: authenticity.

A personal history shaped by boxing, military service, entrepreneurship, entertainment, and humanitarian work gives him a commanding presence ideally suited to Sergeant Saber.

The fighter from Naples never truly disappeared. He simply found a new arena.

From Naples to Knightsbridge

Born in Naples, Italy, Ciro dreamed of becoming a professional boxer. His natural ability took him to Milan and Rome, where he trained seriously before being called to complete 18 months of military service.

Ciro’s Pizza Pomodoro

His journey ultimately led to London. Drawing upon restaurant experience gained from an early age, he took over a struggling establishment on Beauchamp Place in Knightsbridge in 1978, just around the corner from Harrods.

What followed was far greater than the creation of a traditional restaurant.

By combining authentic Italian cuisine with live music, high energy, entertainment, and unmistakable Neapolitan hospitality, he created Ciro’s Pizza Pomodoro, which grew into an internationally recognized destination and genuine London institution.

For decades, the restaurant became more than a successful business. It became a stage where food, music, friendship, and entertainment came together to create unforgettable experiences.

The Heart Behind the Larger Than Life Personality

Behind the international reputation and larger than life personality is a deeply compassionate man committed to helping children and families experiencing hardship.

As a founder and trustee of the registered Ciro & Armand Charity Foundation, Help Children Now, Ciro has supported humanitarian initiatives addressing hunger, poverty, illness, educational disadvantage, mental health challenges, and the needs of refugee children.

That commitment has taken him far beyond London, including support for children at the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan and participation in international relief efforts. Following the outbreak of war in Ukraine, he traveled to the Polish Ukrainian border, where he and other volunteers prepared hot pizzas for displaced families and children arriving as refugees.

The work reflects a principle that has guided his restaurants throughout his life: food can bring people together, restore dignity, and communicate love when words are not enough.

                                 Ciro Orsini as Sergeant Saber

Enter Sergeant Saber

That same strength, authenticity, personality, and heart now come to the screen through Sergeant Saber in Stan Lee’s LEGION OF 5.

His inclusion reflects qualities at the heart of the LEGION OF 5 family: originality, character, loyalty, resilience, courage, and a willingness to explore unexpected new possibilities.

Sergeant Saber is now part of that expanding story.

Inside the Expanding LEGION OF 5 Universe

Stan Lee’s LEGION OF 5 is a live action superhero franchise based on original intellectual property and characters created by Stan Lee.

At the center of the story are five young heroes who are unexpectedly armed with extraordinary abilities. While confronting their own personal challenges, they must learn to work together against a super powered force that the military cannot control.

The vision reaches far beyond a single motion picture. LEGION OF 5 is being developed as an expanding entertainment universe encompassing feature films, sequels, video games including LEGION CHAMPIONS, digital content, licensing, merchandising, and future interactive experiences.

Behind the LEGION: Building a Global Entertainment Universe

The continuing development of Stan Lee’s LEGION OF 5 is being advanced by partners Lee Baker and Marco Derhy through Advent Entertainment, PARALIGHT, and Legion Digital Studios.

Their partnership brings together Baker’s creative foundation as Stan Lee’s longtime creative partner, author, visual effects executive, and screenwriter behind LEGION OF 5 with Derhy’s experience as an entrepreneur, film producer, and leader in strategic partnerships, global business development, distribution, and marketing.

Together, they are establishing the creative, business, technological, and global foundation for an entertainment universe spanning feature films, video games, patent pending artificial intelligence technology, digital content, emerging experiences, and worldwide distribution.

PARALIGHT: Empowering a New Generation of Creators

The transformation of Ciro into Sergeant Saber also demonstrates the creative possibilities of PARALIGHT, a patent pending filmmaking technology powered by artificial intelligence.

Designed to empower screenwriters, filmmakers, actors, producers, studios, and independent creators, PARALIGHT helps transform ideas and screenplays into visual productions.

Its technology can assist in developing scripts, characters, scenes, shots, storyboards, visual environments, and other essential production elements within a unified creative platform.

The purpose is not to remove human creativity or replace the performer. Instead, PARALIGHT gives creators sophisticated tools that can help transform imagination into professional quality cinematic storytelling.

Its possibilities extend across film, television, commercials, music videos, video games, and social content.

The portrayal of Sergeant Saber illustrates an evolving relationship between authentic human personality, performance, storytelling, and emerging technology.

Technology may help create the world, but it is the human being who gives the character life.

Welcoming Ciro to the LEGION OF 5 Family

Welcoming Ciro Orsini into Stan Lee’s LEGION OF 5 represents far more than adding another name to a cast. It means welcoming a friend, entrepreneur, entertainer, and humanitarian whose life reflects many of the qualities found in memorable heroes: perseverance, courage, generosity, loyalty, and heart.

For nearly five decades, he has created experiences that bring people together. His international reputation was built by giving guests far more than a meal. He gave them music, friendship, memories, and a place where everyone could feel at home.

As Sergeant Saber, that same passion, authenticity, and larger than life energy now enters the Stan Lee’s LEGION OF 5 universe.

Ciro, we are proud to welcome you into the LEGION OF 5 family.

Your journey from Naples and the boxing ring to Knightsbridge and now into a cinematic superhero universe reminds us that the most extraordinary chapters of our lives may still be waiting to be written.

And in the true spirit of Ciro Orsini:

Expect the unexpected.

The Story Continues

The transformation of Ciro Orsini into Sergeant Saber is one remarkable chapter in something far bigger.

The LEGION is expanding. New heroes are rising. Powerful new stories are about to unfold, and the next chapter promises even greater surprises.

Who will join the LEGION next?

Stay ready. The next chapter of the Stan Lee LEGION OF 5 Legacy will soon be revealed.
