BLOODSHOT Adds BABY DRIVER Actress Eiza Gonzalez, UNDERWORLD's Michael Sheen, And More

It looks like Sony Pictures' upcoming adaptation of Valiant Comics' Bloodshot has begun to round out its cast.

Joining Vin Diesel in the lead role will be Eiza Gonzalez (Baby Driver, Alita: Battle Angel), Michael Sheen (Underworld, Tron: Legacy), and Sam Heughan (Outlander, The Spy Who Dumped Me).

We don't have any details on the characters they'll be playing just yet, but Diesel will star as Angelo Mortalli - a ruthless mob killer who is forcibly subjected to an experimental program which leaves him with superhuman strength and healing abilities.

The R-rated project will follow Harbinger as the second film in a five-picture deal between Beverly Hills/Beijing-based DMG and Valiant Entertainment. Neal Moritz will produce, while Blur Studios' Dave Wilson is on board as director.

Apparently, sequels are planned for both Harbinger and Bloodshot before the title characters meet in a Harbinger Wars movie.

I almost dropped my drink in my lap when I first saw her in Baby Driver. 😍

@blitzburgh - If you ever saw Ninjak vs the Valiant Universe, they had the Green Ranger play Bloodshot. Don't know if that sounds any better to you.

I'll wait for a trailer, but I'm leaning towards skipping this because:
A. Vin Diesel.
B. I'm burning out on superhero universes.

@Battabing - yeah I know what you mean, I love Marvel but after infinity War I kind of feel like I need a break even though I will still see the movies. That's why the DC thing pisses me off so much because it could have been an alternative to Marvel and it just hasn't lived up to its expectations and as for Vin Diesel in the lead of anything yeah I'll pass too

A Bloodshot movie can be so amazing. Vin Diesel just seems like such a terrible choice for the lead though. Those others are great though. Still excited. Hope it’s amazing.

@ConnorHawkeye - Stephanie Hunt is to play Zatanna after the Gambit movie gets made.

Seems like she's been linked to Zatanna for awhile now. She was even posting pics of the character out of the blue on her Twitter feed.

Great get with adding these talents to the movie. Sam is the best actor in Outlander, not to say the other actors and actresses are bad, but he easily is the star of the show, so it will be nice to see him being in a superhero movie.

Eliza that woman is Fine and I'm looking forward to seeing her in more movies. Marvel or DC needs to get her in a supersuit.

Which is it -- they HAVE been cast, or they're in talks? They're not the same thing.

@LoudLon - They are usually the same thing. Trades just word it that way in case something falls through but it very rarely does. You'll be hard pushed to find a any report of an actor being "in negotiations" for a role that then didn't end up playing it.
LoudLon
LoudLon - 5/24/2018, 12:45 PM
@RorMachine - "In talks" means the actor has been offered the part, and he/she and their agent are negotiating things such as pay and scheduling in the event they accept the part.

"Has been cast" means negotiations have been settled, the actor has signed a contract and is locked in for the part.

Not the same thing at all. But don't take my word for it, I'm only an experienced screenwriter and have been through these procedures a few times myself.

These additions look great. I'm just happy to hear more news that keeps me convinced that this project is moving forward and really gonna happen. Can't wait to sit down in a theater and watch a real Valiant movie!

@thunderforce - My guess (hope) is they are testing the water with the less expensive Bloodshot and Harbinger to make sure there is an audience before going big with X-O.
