Lamorne Morris, who recently finished 145 episodes on Fox’s “New Girl” as Winston Bishop, is boarding Sony’s sci-fi action superhero film Bloodshot starring Vin Diesel, Deadline reports.
Morris will play the role of Wilfred Wigans who is described as a young scientist who becomes Bloodshot’s unlikely ally.
The actor joins Eiza Gonzalez, Sam Heughan, Talulah Riley, Alex Hernandez, and Toby Kebbell who also star. Dave Wilson is currently directly Bloodshot. Should the franchise continue past the first film, they report that Morris is attached for another two pics.
Bloodshot is based on the Valiant comic book series and centers around Ray Garrison aka Bloodshot. He’s brought back from the dead by Rising Spirit Technologies the use of nanotechnology and suffers total memory loss. Ray struggles to reconnect with who he was while learning what sort of weapon he has become, with the help of a group of other augmented combatants (called Chainsaw).
