Sony's live-action adaptation of the Valiant's Bloodshot comic recently started production, but the film's roster of actors is currently undergoing a pretty big change.

Apparently, Michael Sheen (Masters of Sex) was forced to exit the project due to scheduling conflicts, and now the studio is working quickly to find a replacement. And according to Variety, this search has led the filmmakers to actor Guy Pearce.

The Iron Man 3 star is still in negotiations, but if he does sign on to the film, he will replace Michael Sheen as Dr. Emil Harting, the genius responsible for the technology that gives Vin Diesel's titular hero his abilities.


Dave Wilson, who is mostly known for his VFX work, will direct Bloodshot, which has a script by Eric Heisserer (Arrival) and Jeff Wadlow (Kick-Ass 2) and is currently set to release on February 21, 2020

@ArthurFleck - Vin Diesel is a the cheap version of The Rock....and that is not saying much.

Well actually I like The Rock a lot but he is way over exposed at this point. And I did like Vin in Pitch Black!

"20th Century Fox gives Disney "opportunity" like "Avatar, Marvel's X-Men, Fantastic Four, Deadpool, Kingsman, Planet of the Apes," and many other franchises Iger said on the call."

Found this quote. I believe this is the first public acknowledgement of plans for FF and X-Men after the merger was approved.
