The Valiant Universe is officially alive with Bloodshot, which stars Vin Diesel as Ray Garrison, a man who is brought back from the dead as a lethal weapon, thanks to Rising Spirit Technologies’ use of nanotechnology.
Originally slated for release on February 21, 2020, the comic book adaptation will now revive on March 13, 2020.
In the film, Guy Pearce (Prometheus, Ravenous) uses false memories to manipulate a resurrected Bloodshot into assassinating people.
“Based on the bestselling comic book, Vin Diesel stars as Ray Garrison, a soldier recently killed in action and brought back to life as the superhero Bloodshot by the RST corporation. With an army of nanotechnology in his veins, he’s an unstoppable force –stronger than ever and able to heal instantly. But in controlling his body, the company has sway over his mind and memories, too. Now, Ray doesn’t know what’s real and what’s not – but he’s on a mission to find out.”
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.
Dave Wilson (Deadpool director Tim Miller’s partner at Blur Studios) is at the helm of the sci-fi actioner.
