Following Toby Kebbell joining Sony’s Bloodshot adaptation earlier this week, now comes word that Johannes Haukur Johannesson has been added to the movie.

As per The Wrap, the Game of Thrones actor has landed an unknown villainous role in the adaptation. Johannesson joins a cast that will be headlined by Vin Diesel as the titular hero.

In addition to Diesel and Kebbell, Bloodshot also has Michael Sheen, Talulah Riley, Alex Hernandiex, Sam Heughan, and Eiza Gonzalez on board.

For those not familiar with the Bloodshot character, he’s a comic book act created by Kevin Van Hook, Don Perlin and Bob Layton. A former soldier who was killed and brought back to life with a whole bunch of snazzy technological upgrades, he’s essentially the perfect soldier complete with a healing factor, the power to shapeshift, and the ability to interact with pretty much any and all piece of technology.

Sony previously picked up the cinematic rights to Valiant Entertainment’s Bloodshot and Harbinger characters, with the initial plan being to give each character two solo outings before bringing the pair together in a huge crossover event.

As ever, expect more on all things Bloodshot – and Harbinger, for that matter – as we get it.
