GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Actor Vin Diesel Is In Talks To Join The Cast Of Sony’s BLOODSHOT Movie
Following reports that Jared Leto was in negotiations to play the lead in Sony's Bloodshot movie, we're now hearing that Vin Diesel (GOTG, The Fast and the Furious movies) is also in talks for a role...
Back in July of 2017, we found out that Jared Leto (Suicide Squad, Blade Runner 2049) was in early negotiations to play the lead role in Sony Pictures' Valiant Comics adaptation, Bloodshot, and now The Wrap reports that Vin Diesel is also in line to join the production.
No mention is made of which character the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 actor would play, so there's always a possibility that Leto dropped out and Diesel is now in talks for 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.
