Jared Leto in talks for Bloodshot

Dwayne Johnson absolutely belongs in this role. He'd bring the look and the cred, and if he played it with a seriousness that he played in "Faster", then we'd have one badass Bloodshot flick on our hands. And of course he'd do it. He takes almost any credible role just to keep working.

Dwayne Johnson is supposed to be the next Doc Savage in the upcoming movie.

He's no longer attached to Shazaam as the lead the or Black Adam apparently.

Would John Cena work as Bloodshot?

I would say that whoever it is, the success of this movie will depend more on the non-action scenes than action. Any movie can deliver grimaces and machine guns and exploding limbs.

But to really get the audience to bite and turn this into a "good movie" rather than just a "good action movie" the actor will have to inspire pathos with viewers. The more they care about the character, the more meaningful the action is.

What about the actor from Terminator: Salvation and Avatar?

Bulk up and put on a few pounds.

I'm hoping it's Leto for all the reasons I stated.

Either way, whether you like him or not, he's an established actor who brings credibility to the film. All those people who always want some wrestler to play the role (baring some known talent like The Rock) never realize how that affects the perception of a film.

I can't see there being another role that someone at his level would be in talks for

I have to admit that I don't think I've ever seen anything he's been in. For all I know he could be perfect in the role.

Leto is a bizarre, crazy, millennial Hipster, with some convenient tional/unconventional celebrity antics. Like most good looking millennial hipsters, he's maybe 20 lbs wet. From my vantage point, I'm not feeling it, but don't take my word for it, he is on the most annoying celebrity lists. However, there are more successful people than me making that decision.

He's no millenial. He was born in 71, which is about 10 years too early to be one.

I was gonna say that. Dude was playing Jordan Catalano when I was in middle school, and I'm too old to be a millennial. He's a gen x-er for sure.

Pretty minor role there and in American Psycho. Haven't seen many of the movies he was the lead in, but I thought he was great as Prefontaine in the biographical film.

Requiem For A Dream was awesome! I'd love a action hero that can really act over some buff dud.

He was in Fight Club? Now I have to go look... okay, he played a punching bag.

I'm glad they are looking in the direction of someone who is a good actor

It leads me to believe that the role is not just strictly action ... but involve some of the best aspects of the character - the psychological / schizophrenic / multiple personality / false memory aspects that would need a GOOD actor to truly pull it off.

That's kinda where I'm at, too. To be a good movie, the character and story are every bit as important as the action.

While I haven't seen it, a big name like Charlize Theron is ringing in at 74% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Critics Consensus: Atomic Blonde gets enough mileage out of its stylish action sequences -- and ever-magnetic star -- to make up for a narrative that's somewhat less hard-hitting than its protagonist.
