Synopsis[edit]

After he and his wife are suddenly assassinated, Marine Ray Garrison (Vin Diesel) is reborn by a team of scientists. Enhanced with nanotechnology, he becomes a superhuman, biotech killing machine – Bloodshot. As Ray first trains with fellow super-soldiers, he struggles to recall anything from his previous years. But when his memories flood back and he remembers the man that killed both him and his wife, he breaks out of the facility hellbent on revenge, only to discover that there’s more to the conspiracy than he originally felt.

Cast[edit]

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

In March 2012, it was announced that Columbia Pictures had acquired the film rights to the Valiant Comics character Bloodshot, which would be produced by Original Film and Valiant Entertainment. Jeff Wadlow was hired to write the screenplay.[5] In April 2015, Sony Pictures, Original Film and Valiant announced a five-picture deal to bring Valiant Comics' superheroes to the big screen, including Bloodshot. Chad Stahelski and David Leitch were hired to direct the film, from a screenplay by Wadlow and Eric Heisserer.[6] Stahelski and Leitch eventually passed on the project. In March 2017, Dave Wilson was announced as the director of the film.[7] Screenwriter Adam Cozad later contributed to the script.[8]

Casting[edit]

In July 2017, it was reported that Jared Leto was in early negotiations to star in the film as Bloodshot,[9] but in March 2018, it was announced that Vin Diesel would portray the main character.[10] By May, additional cast members were announced, with Sam Heughan, Michael Sheen, and Eiza González.[11] In June of the same year, Talulah Riley and Alex Hernandez were cast in the film to play the titular characters' wife named Gina, and member of a scientist team named Tibbs, respectively.[12] Later, Toby Kebbell and Johannes Haukur Johannesson were both cast in villainous roles, with the former playing Axe.[13][14] In August 2018, Lamorne Morris was hired to play a young scientist named Wilfred Wigans.[15] In the same month, it was reported that Guy Pearce was in talks to replace Sheen, who had to exit the movie due to scheduling and family conflicts.[16]

Filming[edit]

Principal photography began on August 6, 2018 in Cape Town, South Africa, and in Prague, Czech Republic, with some filming taking place in Budapest, Hungary in that same month.[17][18] Filming officially wrapped on October 25, 2018.[19]

Marketing[edit]

The first trailer for Bloodshot was released on October 21, 2019.[20] It featured Johnny Cash's cover of the song "Memories Are Made of This".

Release[edit]

Bloodshot is scheduled to be released on March 13, 2020, by Sony Pictures Releasing, after previously being scheduled to release in February 21, 2020.[21] It will also open in the UK and Ireland on the same day.[22]

Future[edit]

Intended to launch a new shared cinematic universe of Valiant Comics superheroes, Bloodshot was originally planned to be followed by four movies: a sequel, two films based on the comic book series Harbinger, and a culmination in a crossover titled Harbinger Wars.[6] Initially scheduled to be the first installment in the franchise, development of Harbinger was delayed in favor of releasing Bloodshot first.[23][6] In September 2019, it was announced that Harbinger would be distributed by Paramount Pictures, possibly canceling any shared universe plans with Bloodshot.[24]
In June 2018, it was announced that a film centered around Faith Herbert / Zephyr was also in development, with a script from Maria Melnik.[25]
