He'll be what 52-53 when this comes out?

I agree with kimik, getting past his prime now. Must be other choices out there they could build a franchise around.

Liam Neeson isn't walking around talking about family and wearing a vest. :baiting:

Not for nothing, but Charles Bronson was 52 when he starred in Death Wish.

And 60 when he starred in Death Wish 2 (of 5).

And he looked 70 doing the first one...........

Vin Diesel is an okay name for Valiant, but unless they plan on killing him off at the end of this one I don't understand why they did not go with a younger actor in/entering their prime.

Vin Diesel looks 42 though. Middle aged bald dudes for the most part look younger than their counterparts who don't do anything with their hair.

That's a trick a lot of middle-age men use. Shave head, and grow maybe facial hair.

Looks cooler bald.

 

Another example with JK Simmons.

More intimidating bald than a normal middle-aged look.

They are just probably just trying to get one Valiant movie made. Vin Diesel will get people interested just like Dwayne Johnson does. Diesel like Johnson is considered cool with the modern global mainstream crowd thanks to the Fast and Furious franchise.

They just need to get one made and will worry about all the other stuff later. 

:preach:

I bet you are right. Just getting this kicked off right is probably where the focus is right now. And I don't blame them.

Vin Diesel should be fine in this role. Though I think if they had picked him up during his Chronicles of Riddick days, it may have been better for longevity.

More Bloodshot movie casting news. Looks like Toby Kebbell is playing Ax:

https://www.thewrap.com/toby-kebbell-vin-diesel-bloodshot/

I like Toby Kebbell. Fantastic Four wasn't his fault, and he was phenomenal in Black Mirror (think it was "The Entire History of You").

But even with the top-tier cast, I can't shake the feeling that audiences won't respond to Bloodshot's now-derivative premise (see the TV show "Jake 2.0" and last month's movie "Upgrade").

Granted, Upgrade was low-budget, but it's made a whopping $12 million at the box office.

Vin Diesel's name alone will make more than 12 million.

I look for it to be a surprise hit.
