He is a former soldier named Angelo Mortalli, who was once mortally wounded. But they were able to revive him, thanks to modern technology: Angelo’s blood was chipped with billions of nanodevices, which allowed him to become practically immortal. He took on a new name - Blood Shot - and became a superman: Bloodshot is able to instantly recover from injuries, change body weight and control electronic devices.
At first, Bloodshot serves the special services that revived it. But due to a side effect in the form of memory loss, it is very difficult for him to live. He decides to find out who he was before.

About the film company and filming
The franchise of five new fantastic blockbusters (2 stories about Bloodshot, 2 stories about the Harbinger and the final part with the working title “War of the Harbingers”) was taken by the Sony Pictures film company. She owns such famous films as Ghostbusters (Ghostbusters), Spider-man (Spider-Man), Men in Black (People in Black) and others.
The bulk of the filming of the first "Blood Shot" takes place in Cape Town (South Africa). There are excellent film studios and amazingly beautiful landscapes. Some episodes are planned to be shot in Prague and Budapest. The film crew is planning to finish in America. And such a large-scale grandiose work makes movie fans based on comics stand still in anticipation.
According to insiders, Sony Pictures plans to repeat the success of Logan, Deadpool and Robocop, creating another sci-fi blockbuster about a new hero. It has something from the previous characters, but the creators claim that the Bloody Shot will have distinctive features that will make the picture original.
Actors
For the main role, a large actor with great experience was required, because he had to play not complicated physical scenes. Vin Diesel (all parts of The Fast and the Furious, Three X's, 2002, The Chronicles of Riddick, 2004) perfectly matched the requirements. Despite the fact that the actor recently celebrated his 50th anniversary, he began to actively prepare for the role, regularly visiting the gym and capturing it on his social networks.
His partner was the fragile Talula Riley - a Hollywood actress (Odnoklassnitsy, 2007, Tor-2, 2013) and ex-wife Ilona Mask. She will play the Bloodshot girl, whose name is Gina in the comics.But the attention of viewers will be riveted on the beauty Ace Gonzalez (“Baby on the Drive”, 2017). The Mexican actress also uploads a lot of photos on her social networks, where she not only shows shots from the shootings, but also shows an excellent figure of a “phony”. It is still unknown who she will play in the film, because her role was specially written. There is no such girl in the comics.
Spectators are looking forward to 2020 in the film "Bloody Shot" to see their favorite - handsome Sam Huan. The actor was remembered for the role of James Fraser in the TV series "Alien." In the blockbuster Bloodshot, he will play Corporal Harlan, nicknamed "Long."
Bob Leighton, author of a comic book series about a hero nicknamed Bloodshot, is positive about casting. He personifies Vin Diesel with the Bloodshot because he is a big fan of the Riddick movie series. Leighton talked with the actor (as he had once talked with Robert Downey Jr. about Tony Stark in “Iron Man”) and managed to convey to him how he sees his character. “The diesel engine took all the wishes into account, which is immensely glad,” says Bob. And he marks Sam Hugen as a very hardworking actor.
Also in the “Bloodshot” the main roles will be played by:
- Asa Gonzalez ("Kid on the Drive", "Alita: Battle Angel");
- Toby Kebbell (Monster's Voice, Black Mirror);
- Guy Pearce (“The King Says!”, “Iron Man-3”);
