According to
Omega Underground,
Bloodshot will likely begin shooting in July of this year could wrap by November. The report suggests that filming will likely commence in Prague, Czech Republic. Vin Diesel, who will be playing the titular character, should be familiar with the area since he shot the original
xXx there as well.
Diesel will be working with
Fast & Furious producer Neal Moritz on the project. Dave Wilson will direct.
Arrival screenwriter Eric Heisserer is writing the film's script with Jeff Wadlow. It is expected to earn an R-Rating, which isn't surprising given how violent the character is usually shown to be. The film is also said to draw influence from action movies like
Robocop and
Terminator.
The
Bloodshot movie will be the first in a
Valiant Comics-based
cinematic universe.
Harbinger is set to follow. Each film will receive a sequel before crossing over in the
Harbinger Wars movie.
Diesel has also apparently begun preparations for the film, recently sharing an image on
Instagram featuring
Bosslogic fan art of him in the role, along with the cryptic caption:
"And so it begins...."
