Bloodshot then Harbinger . Bloodshot then Harbinger . That had been the architectural plan tokick off a Valiant Cinematic Universe for years . And while Bloodshot asterisk Vin Diesel is in the can andon its way for a 2020 button , that second piece of the teaser just went in another focussing .
The Hollywood Reporterjust give out the news that Harbinger has changed hands , from Sony ( which is turn Bloodshot ) to Paramount . ( Not again , Sony ! ) Everything about the project remains the same — same director , writer , producers , etc.—but while report are Sony had tentatively planned to shoot Harbinger this yr , with Dylan O’Brien and Noah Centineo possibly among the actors circling , Paramount will kick the tires on the picture show a bit before go into production .
Harbinger is ( very loosely ) Valiant ’s twist on the go - Man , about a budding team of misfit who all have superpowers . According to the Hollywood newsperson , the program at Sony was for Bloodshot and Harbinger motion-picture show to get out ( in one way or another ) and for the characters to then team up up for Harbinger Wars . Of naturally , now that ca n’t happen .

And yet , the Valiant Cinematic Universe is not entirely dead . Bloodshot is reportedly the only character Sony has certify through Valiant . According to the barter , “ task insider say … Bloodshoot is less integral to the VCU than say Spider - Man , with the society focused on continue together its core type such as X - O Manowar , Eternal Warrior and Archer & Armstrong , whose right it retain . ”
This means Bloodshot could terminate up becoming Valiant ’s Spider - Man , the lone wolf whose rights are at another studio apartment while all his comic leger acquaintance are in another cinematic universe .

However , one has to think about this situation with a dah of linear perspective . Valiant properties have been invarious stages of developmentgoing on a decade at least and it wo n’t be until next year ’s Bloodshot that one finally pass water it to the big blind . No one should count any egg before they dream up here . The movies need to actually get made — and they have to be good . Most importantly , they need to be successful . Just because Harbinger or X - O Manowar are based on comic books does n’t undertake them a billion dollars at the box office . Not even close .
But maybe Harbinger is Iron Man . perchance it ’s Batman Begins . Maybe it quetch it all off . It ’ll be up to director Justin Tipping , writer Joshua Beirne - Golden ( who co - write with Tipping based on a Eric Heisserer draft ) , and manufacturer Neal Moritz to work with Paramount and make a good Harbinger movie .
