There was just something about Groot when we watched Guardians of The Galaxy. Perhaps it was because Vin Diesel was voicing the character. The actor best known for the Fast and Furious movies will be starring in a new movie called
Bloodshot.
The film
Bloodshot is an adaptation of the comic book series,
Valiant. In the comic world, he's not your everyday superhero. He's a violent but heroic super soldier with special powers that include superhuman physical strength, the ability to regenerate any wound, the ability to alter his body shape and wait for it, the ability to communicate with machines.
The amazing part is that this will not just be a one-off movie. There will be 5 movies about Bloodshot and the Valiant Universe. Vin Diesel will play a gritty superhero with killing abilities so if you want action, this will be the movie for you. The storyline is close to what
Logan as,
Bloodshot has a daughter who shares his abilities, much like Logan's daughter.
The film is being directed by Tim Miller who directed the successful
Deadpool movie. The plot for the movie reads, "the protagonist is Angelo Mortalli, a ruthless killer of the mob who is set up by the family and framed for a murder. He instead goes into Witness Protection but is betrayed by an FBI agent guarding him, kidnapped and forcibly subjected to an experimental program in which his body is injected with microscopic computers called nanites. They erase his brain and rebuild it and his body to be a weapon with superhuman strength and healing powers."
The film is expected to hit the screens in 2019.
