It looks like Sony Pictures' upcoming adaptation of Valiant Comics' Bloodshot has begun to round out its cast.
Joining Vin Diesel in the lead role will be Eiza Gonzalez (Baby Driver, Alita: Battle Angel), Michael Sheen (Underworld, Tron: Legacy), and Sam Heughan (Outlander, The Spy Who Dumped Me).
We don't have any details on the characters they'll be playing just yet, but Diesel will star as Angelo Mortalli - a ruthless mob killer who is forcibly subjected to an experimental program which leaves him with superhuman strength and healing abilities.
The R-rated project will follow Harbinger as the second film in a five-picture deal between Beverly Hills/Beijing-based DMG and Valiant Entertainment. Neal Moritz will produce, while Blur Studios' Dave Wilson is on board as director.
Apparently, sequels are planned for both Harbinger and Bloodshot before the title characters meet in a Harbinger Wars movie.
