Although Valiant's characters are highly regarded among comic readers, they are not that well known to the general public. Diesel even said that he wanted the film to launch the universe, giving him another potentially major franchise to be a part of. However, after having a difficult time getting Harbinger off the ground, Bloodshot moved forward and was repositioned as the start of the Valiant universe.Įven though Bloodshot doesn't explicitly set up a shared universe through post-credits scenes or Easter eggs to other Valiant characters, the intention is apparent. Sony had a Harbinger movie in the works that was set to kickstart the universe, with Bloodshot in position to be the second installment. After having trouble getting the Spider-Man franchise right (before joining the MCU and the success of Venom), the studio saw Valiant as an opportunity to do a new type of comic book shared universe. When Sony began development on Bloodshot, the plan was for the film to be part of the first wave of movies in a Valiant cinematic universe. Now that Bloodshot is out in theaters, the hopes of a Valiant shared universe may depend on the success of this film - and unfortunately it doesn't appear to be the cinematic universe starter those involved hoped it could be.
However, he soon learns that these memories are manipulated by RST, the company that saved his life with the nanites, and he is being tricked into killing whomever is next up on the hit list of RST boss Dr. The film follows Diesel's Ray Garrison as he gets revenge on the people he believes murdered his wife.

The former soldier gains enhanced abilities through the nanites running through his bloodstream. Known initially as Angelo Mortalli, Bloodshot has starred in multiple solo series and Valiant crossovers, with his name eventually becoming Ray Garrison. The character made his comic debut in 1992 as a creation of Kevin VanHook, Don Perlin, and Bob Layton. The latest attempt at a shared universe begins with Bloodshot, a Vin Diesel-led superhero movie that is based on one of Valiant Comics' most recognizable anti-heroes.
