There are clues throughout the movie that (as Wigans says to Bloodshot), "sometimes what you think is real... ain't".  He might as well be talking to the audience. 

The movie has a Total Recall vibe, once you realize that it can be "fan theoried" quite a bit.  Not sure if any of it is fact, or if it's supposed to have an answer.  Bloodshot never knows for sure, why would we? 

For example: If you watch the whole movie with the idea that Eric (the tech guy that gets made fun of) is actually the mastermind pulling the strings... there are clues it's true. 

Yeah

Because why is he dressed like a bum throughout the movie and dressed like a P*** at the end

This is a bummer with what could have been.

BLOODSHOT PRODUCER REVEALS THE POST-CREDITS SCENE YOU'LL NEVER SEE

Quote

Bloodshot doesn't want to be like other superhero movies. It pokes fun at the gritty origin story, it doesn't have surprise cameos from other superheroes, and there's no post-credits scene to set up a sequel.

 

But the filmmakers did write a post-credits scene they never filmed and it featured one of the of the biggest villains from the Valiant Comics universe where Bloodshot exists.

 

'We had a great post-credits sequence," producer Dinesh Shamdasani tells Inverse. "We were talking to Ken Watanabe of coming on board to play [Toyo] Harada."

 

 

In an interview, Shamdasani, the longtime Valiant Comics fan who served as the publisher's CEO and Chief Creative Officer before his exit in 2018, broke down the entire written sequence. He also revealed why it didn't happen and what it would have led to in a possible "Valiant Cinematic Universe."

 

Though Ray confronts his evil creators in the movie's epic finale, Shamdasani reveals that Ray would have met the true antagonist of the Valiant Universe, Toyo Harada, in a post-credits scene that addresses one of the biggest questions left unanswered: Why was Bloodshot created in the first place?

 

"The after-credits sequence that we had talked about that Vin fell in love with was, you’d see Bloodshot, after the end of the movie, some undisclosed time later," Shamdasani says.

 

He describes a sequence where Bloodshot would be "in full regalia," complete with his signature comic book look and weaponry of Desert Eagle handguns and katana swords on his back.

 

"He's in an urban environment. He opens the door, and suddenly behind this door, it's a vast, snowy, landscape. Trees, forest. You see snowflakes coming out the door that intercept our urban environment. He's super confused."

 

Adds Shamdasani, "It's a little magical realism inside a sci-fi film."

 

From there, inside that snow-frosted forest, Bloodshot comes face-to-face with a massive, "unnaturally large" dire wolf voiced by Ken Watanabe.

 

"This dire wolf doesn't move its mouth, but you hear, telepathically, it speaks," the producer says. "It's Harada. He's talking about the war that's coming. And Bloodshot has to make a choice." The sequence ends with a close-up of Bloodshot's red eyes as he says, "I've made my choice."

 

Vin Diesel was apparently so in love with this scene, he even rehearsed as the wolf. "Vin loved [this] so much that at 4 o'clock on a Saturday he performed this scene in his penthouse, including an imitation of a wolf. He was that in love with it."

 

Shamdasani says the whole thing was a "dream, fantasy plan" that almost happened until it didn't. "Sony wasn’t one hundred percent on board with that plan," Shamdasani says. "It was one of the last vestiges of their approval. I don’t know the thinking behind it, but they didn’t feel it was something they wanted to do."

 

The post-credits scene was also close to rolling. "We got far down the road, we got Watanabe’s people, it was scripted, we started looking at locations. But the rights moved before we had the chance to shoot."

...at one point, Eric turns around to the tech guy sitting next to him and the Post-It Note on the tech guy's computer says "Draft Present".  That scene was supposedly "real life" but the clue is that it's still in the simulation.

Vin Diesel's Bloodshot is returning to theaters this week after the coronavirus pandemic cut its original theatrical run short. Sony had hopes of launching a Valiant Cinematic Universe with Bloodshot at one point. Although other Valiant characters were then sold to Paramount, there was still a chance that Bloodshot could become a franchise thanks to Diesel. He has become a box office star thanks to the Fast & Furious franchise with great international appeal.

 

The chances of Bloodshot launching a franchise depended on how well the film fared at the box office. Unfortunately, the movie barely made $10 million domestically. The film might not have received great reviews, but this performance isn't entirely Bloodshot's fault. COVID-19 forced theaters to shut down shortly after the movie opened, limiting the original run to less than a week. As a result, Sony pushed Bloodshot out as an early Paid Video On Demand release to try and recoup some money, but it will now get a second chance.

 

Theaters are starting to open again in the United States and across the world, and AMC Theatres has confirmed that Bloodshot is returning to cinemas. The film will be available on the big screen again starting on August 20th. AMC customers who see the movie will receive double points for these tickets. Bloodshot will also be available at Regal Cinemas at the same time, and likely in other chains around the world.

Theaters are offering 15-cent pricing, so that sounds about right... Bloodshot just needs 667,000,000 people to go to the theater and pay 15-cents each so it can make $100M box office.
