Bloodshot is an adversary of the Harbingers in the comics, and will be introduced as such in the <strong>Harbinger <\/strong>film. He will then spin off into his own film, which will now be the second film in the series. Sony also appears to have plans to spin members of the Harbinger team into solo films (The Wrap mentions Faith and Livewire) which makes getting them out in front of filmgoers a priority.<\/p>\n<p>What this does to the rest of Sony&#8217;s former plans for Valiant&#8211;five films including sequels to <strong>Harbinger <\/strong>and <strong>Bloodshot <\/strong>culminating in a <strong>Harbinger Wars <\/strong>crossover&#8211;is not yet known.
