Toby Kebbell Cast as the Villain Axe in Valiant's BLOODSHOT Starring Vin Diesel

Toby Kebbell has joined the cast of Vin Diesel’s superhero movie “Bloodshot,” TheWrap has exclusively learned. Aside from Diesel, who is starring in the film, Kebbell joins the likes of Michael Sheen, Eiza González, Talulah Riley, Alex Hernandez and “Outlander’s” Sam Heughan for the project. Kebbell will play the villain role of Axe.

The studio will start principal photography in July on the first film to feature Diesel in a live-action superhero role. The film will also reunite Diesel with “Fast and Furious” mega-producer Neal Moritz. This is the first time that Moritz and Diesel have worked together outside of the “Fast and Furious” franchise. Dan Mintz, founder of DMG Entertainment is the executive producer. DMG recently acquired the entirety of Valiant Entertainment’s IP.

Dave Wilson, who is “Deadpool” director Tim Miller’s partner at Blur Studios, is attached to direct.

“Bloodshot” is about a mortally wounded soldier resurrected with cutting-edge nanotechnology, tasked with rounding up super-powered outcasts known as “harbingers.” The “Bloodshot” comic series was created by Kevin Van Hook, Don Perlin and Bob Layton in 1992.

Over its comic-book run, “Bloodshot” amassed 110 issues with more than 7.5 million copies sold via publisher Valiant. Valiant’s library represents an untapped wells of intellectual property: Its bench has more than 2,000 superhero characters (with lifetime sales of more than 80 million copies), making it the third largest library of superheroes behind Marvel and DC — and the only one not currently owned by a major conglomerate. Valiant’s comic books are the best-reviewed books over the past five years; “Bloodshot” in particular has been honored with numerous critics’ awards.

According to insiders, Sony and Wilson plan to follow in the footsteps of the recent success of “Logan” and “Deadpool” with an R-rated take on the comic adaptation that will be tonally and aesthetically influenced by high-concept, sci-fi blockbusters of the late 1980s, including “Robocop,” “Terminator” and “Total Recall.”

“Bloodshot” marks a return to Diesel’s action genre roots. He launched to international fame as a hard-hitting action star in “xXx” and “Pitch Black” before locking into “The Fast and the Furious” series. Diesel was also 2017’s top-grossing actor at the box office. Diesel topped the list with $1.6 billion in global ticketing receipts, thanks to the success of “xXx: The Return of Xander Cage” and “Fate of the Furious.”

Kebbell is best known for his roles in films like “The Fantastic Four,” the rebooted “Planet of the Apes” franchise, “Kong: Skull Island,” “Warcraft,” and “RocknRolla.”

It's Official: Vin Diesel to Star in Valiant's BLOODSHOT Directed by Dave Wilson

Sony Pictures has closed a deal with Vin Diesel to star in the studio’s sci-fi/action movie Bloodshot, an adaptation of the Valiant comic book series. Dave Wilson, the longtime collaborator of Deadpool and the upcoming Terminator reboot helmer Tim Miller and creative director at their Blur Studios, is aboard make his feature directing debut with the script from Arrival Oscar-winning scribe Eric Heisserer.

Deadline reports that the pic will be in the tone of the classic 1980s tentpoles like Robocop, Terminator and Total Recall. Sony is being aggressive with this one, a franchise play, and principal photography starts in July.

The deal reunites Diesel with his Fast and the Furious producer Neal H. Moritz, who is producing alongside Toby Jaffe and Dinesh Shamdasani. Matthew Vaughn and Dan Mintz are executive producers. Andrea Giannetti will oversee for Sony.

Bloodshot is a central character in the Valiant Expanded Universe, composed of thousands of characters embodying various genres, tones and demographic groups — ordinary people in extraordinary situations rather than gods and demi-gods.

The Bloodshot series, comprised of more 110 issues with more than 7.5 million copies sold, centers on Ray Garrison, aka Bloodshot. Brought back from the dead by Rising Spirit Technologies through the use of nanotechnology and suffering total memory loss, Ray struggles to reconnect with who he was while learning what sort of weapon he has become, with the help of a group of other augmented combatants (called Chainsaw).

Diesel goes hand in hand with action franchises from Fast and Furious and xXx to Riddick and Guardians of the Galaxy

[Organic Damage]

I haven't heard that about many of the Valiant comics but apparently they are popular in their own right.

I have a feeling this will do well just because there aren't that many purists to piss off with whatever changes they make, but the base concept is very movie-able.

 

[LilMountain]

Very well. However I don't recall that comic being any good

I don't particularly care for his solo series, but he's not bad when he cameos in other series, curious for the movie version

 

[milliniar]

Where is the first look? I see concept art.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Meh

Would have rather another riddick movie

Not after the low-budget shitshow the 3rd movie was.

 

[squirrelynuts]

Bloodshot is Italian american mafia hitman kidnapped by CIA and experimented on and turned into even deadlier assassin.

So Blade and The Punisher had a baby, and out came Blood Shot?

 

[TidWell]

Im going to have to check this out, I loved Bloodshot growing up. This will be an interesting movie if done right.

I have Bloodshot number one I used to buy a lot of comics in junior high school and I think I still have that in my stash I have like 15 long boxers of comic books in plastics and backing boards, they probably all destroyed but I sealed them pretty good with tape, I'm too lazy to check though they are in the attic room with alot of boxes.

I have a lot of obscure comics I was buying all Image, Darkhorse, Valiant when everyone was buying marvel and DC, I wanted to be different but I liked also that not many people liked them I never read them though just collected and liked showing them off at school. wasted a lot of my money on them comics are not very valuable to collect and they don't hold up either unless you have one of those expensive clear cases.
