“I feel that anyone can identify with feeling manipulated,” he says. Vin was genuinely excited about articulating that, so I knew he’d be perfect for the role.”Īnd that feeling of being manipulated – the injustice of it – is something that maybe we can all relate to, Diesel says.
He is being manipulated, he doesn’t know who he is, and he’s broken. “He is obviously as physically formidable as Vin’s other characters, but from an emotional standpoint, he is very vulnerable. “This is a completely different character from anything Vin has ever played before,” says director David S. His motives are good, so you just want to see him get what he wants.” “I’ve never seen a character like this – someone who can be focused exclusively on the mission, but you in the audience are feeling for him, because you know that the company is exploiting him.
“Ray’s core values are the core values of anyone that's ever served.”īecause of that, Diesel says, the audience feels a deep empathy for the character that is completely unique.
“If you ask guys in the military who their favorite comic book character is, it’s Bloodshot,” he notes. For Diesel, a super soldier exhibiting a real Achilles’ heel feels very grounded – and the actor says that the character’s heroic side is just as grounded.
