Vin Diesel's franchise profusion continues this week with The Wrap exclusively reporting on Monday regarding his latest potential bid to headline the 2019 release, Bloodshot. Tim Miller's Blur Studios cohort Dave Wilson has long since been attached to direct from Arrival scribe Eric Heisserer's script which centers on a newly resurrected supersoldier tasked with rounding up harbingers.
The xXx and The Fast And The Furious star already has more from these franchises on the way while Bloodshot now reportedly gives Diesel a high-concept sci-fi actioner to add to his work history, and with an R-rating to boot. Diesel will likely be rejoining Fast franchise producer Neal Moritz who is alsp producing the film Dinesh Shamdasani whose Valiant Comics launched the comic book character in 1992.
The news comes following reports of actor Jared Leto being in talks for the role last summer. Bloodshot will be the second of a five-film plot building toward the culimating fifth title, Harbinger Wars in a deal between Valiant and DMG Entertainment in recent years. Adaptations for Valiant properties, Harbinger and Shadowman are already in the works with Marshall and House Party helmer Reginald Hudlin attached to direct the latter.
