Prior to the massive 2014 Sony Pictures hack, Sony entertained a seven-picture deal with Valiant. Whether Bloodshot becomes the biggest superhero movie of 2020 or not, "The shared universe is not a key factor." "If we're going to carve out a legacy in film and fight the largest brand film has ever seen, then we need to take every opportunity to be unique."
This is 2020, and "the philosophy is now different" Shamdasani says, as audiences know all too well how shared universes work. What's more, "Valiant is the only universe built from the ground up to be a shared universe," Shamdasani says.īut that was then. Like Marvel and DC, Valiant wields its own shared universe of characters. Valiant returned with a rebooted universe in 2012, and titles like Bloodshot, X-O Manowar, Ninjak, Archer and Armstrong, and Faith became hits. There's no telling what'll happen next, but if VOD does turn out to be a promising endeavor, fans could see a wave of new movies hit the web before they reach theaters.Vin Diesel and Sam Heughan star in 'Bloodshot.' Sony Picturesīefore producing Bloodshot, Shamdasani and business partner Jason Kothari were hardcore Valiant fans who bought their favorite publisher after the bankruptcy of its parent company, Acclaim. Theories aside, the potential for digitally released movies to set a new trend could change how movie studios think about film premieres. That said, fans still have to wait and see if movie studios will opt for VOD releases rather than theatrical ones. NBC's streamer will be competing with every other top-tier platform, and the company needs something to stand out if they want to stay in the game. They don't usually collaborate on projects together, but with one of their biggest movies of the year delayed until further notice, it may wind up on Peacock.Īn advantage of using Peacock to launch Fast 9 is it would help with brand recognition for the new streaming service as well.
For anyone who doesn't know, NBC Universal and Universal Pictures are affiliates that work under the same entity.
