Academy Award-nominated writer Eric Heisserer (ArrivalThe Thing) has penned the script for the film, as well as another of the Sony/Valiant features, Harbinger. It was previously reported that Sony was hoping to develop two films in the respective Bloodshot and Harbinger franchises before crossing them over with a Harbinger War feature film, though it remains to be seen if those plans remain or will in fact materialize.

This allows him to be the perfect soldier by healing from injuries, shapeshift, and even interact with technology.

He recently played the DC Comics character the Joker in Suicide Squad, and has been seen in films like Fight ClubPanic RoomAlexander and Lord of War.
