Sony has released a second trailer for its upcoming Bloodshot movie, offering a better look at Vin Diesel as the titular superhero. The studio is actively in the process of building out the Spider-Man villain universe Venom launched in 2018, and plans to release its Morbius movie (starring Jared Leto) this summer, ahead of Venom 2‘s unconfirmed arrival this fall. However, that’s not the only comic book adaptation it’s working on at the moment. Sony is also pressing forward with Bloodshot, a big screen version of the character Valiant Comics introduced in the early 1990s.
Diesel stars in Bloodshot as “Ray” Garrison, a deceased marine who’s resurrected and enhanced with nanotech injected into his bloodstream. Directed by Blur Studio veteran Dave Wilson and written by Eric Heisserer (Arrival) and Jeff Wadlow (Truth or Dare), the film came off looking like a cross between a RoboCop and Wolverine movie in the trailer released last fall. Bloodshot has since been pushed back from February to mid-March, affording Sony some extra time to try and better sell the masses on this relatively lesser-known superhero property.
