The first Bloodshot teaser was absolutely bonkers, showing a single shot of Vin Diesel getting his face blown completely off. The trailer didn’t live up to the moment.
Sony is repeating the past (see what I did there?) with another brief teaser from tomorrow’s new trailer debut, and it’s a doozy.
Instead of just having his face blown to smithereens, Diesel’s Ray Garrison, a man who is brought back from the dead as a lethal weapon, has his entire body shredded before his nanotechnology heals him. The wounds are restored through the center of his chest, which is the iconic red circle always on full display in the comics. I wanna see Wolverine-style battle damage and tons of ultra-violence from the adaptation or it’s a failure.

Guy Pearce (Prometheus, Ravenous) also stars in the film adaptation with Dave Wilson (Deadpool director Tim Miller’s partner at Blur Studios) at the helm of the sci-fi actioner, which is being set up as a potential franchise. Talulah Riley is featured as Gina, Bloodshot’s wife, with Alex Hernandez as Tibbs, a member of the scientist’s team responsible for Bloodshot’s technology.
“Bloodshot” was created for Valiant Comics by Kevin Van Hook, Don Perlin and Bob Layton in 1992, and ran for 110 issues with more than 7.5 million copies sold.
