Story Plot

Bloodshot Rises is a 2024 American superhero film based on the Valiant Comics character Bloodshot. Produced by Legendary Pictures, The Stone Quarry, and RatPac Dune Entertainment, it is the first installment in the Valiant Cinematic Extended Universe and reboots the 2020 film Bloodshot; it also focuses on a female version of the character's first incarnation, Angelo Mortalli. The film is directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay by Jerry Bruckheimer and David S. Goyer. Bloodshot Rises stars Sasha Calle as the title character alongside Colin Farrell, Oscar Isaac, Isabella Sermon, Laurence Fishburne, BD Wong, Sam Neill, Morgan Freeman, and Chris Pine. In the film, high-ranking and kind-hearted police officer Arianna Mortalli is killed in action, only to be revived and turned into a superhuman by scientists who want to use her as a weapon. Bloodshot Rises opened in theaters on February 6th 2025; it grossed over $872 million worldwide, becoming the twelfth highest-grossing film of 2025. The film was met with largely positive reviews, with praise for the tone, Calle's performance, action sequences, visuals, score, direction, and the emotional weight compared to the previous adaption of the source material. Bloodshot Rises was nominated for numerous accolades, with Calle winning an Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role, while Hans Zimmer was awarded a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score. A sequel is in development.

    @625rip Before I dive into what this story is, I just want you to understand that yes, I am a fan of superheroes, yes, I am a defender of Bloodshot, and yes, I have read about the actual character. And if you haven't, please do. Basically, he's this cybernetically superhuman with strength, intelligence, and agility, as well as regeneration, which means he can heal. So, this story is called Bloodshot Rises, and it focuses on a female version that I made, and it happens to be a version of Angelo Mortalli, which I believe was the first incarnate of Bloodshot from the comic books. Enjoy!

    @misterwolf Cool. Me too (one of my current projects is already in progress), it's a Marvel universe. I admit I know this character superficially, but for me following Sasha Calle is certainly MUCH more interesting than Vin Diesel 😆

    @625rip Yeah. And as you probably understand, Bloodshot is very different and is from his (or specifically her, obviously in this story) own universe. It's called Valiant Comics, and unfortunately they're not well known. Also, this is Rated "R" because, well, just that name, "Bloodshot". That sounds NOTHING like a child's hero to me. LOL!!!!

    And even though I love the Vin Diesel movie that most don't care for due to not knowing much about the character, I didn't understand the PG-13 rating, because by name alone you know it should've been R-rated.

    Yup, I do. But I can't do that alone, which means looking up as much Valiant Comics characters as we can find. With Bloodshot being the protagonist of the Valiant Cinematic Extended Universe. If you wish to help, then by all means. But leave Bloodshot and crossovers concerning her to me, I already have a sequel to this in the works. It's the second installment in this universe.

    @misterwolf I would be happy to help. This would also help me to get to know this universe better, as a result. Besides, I would like to do a project together here, as I've seen some users doing (I'm thinking about doing this with a friend of mine who also frequents the site), connecting two things that we are building. If I think I can do it, I can give you a hand.

    Plot: After arriving to her apartment, high-ranking police officer Arianna Mortalli finds her husband Giovanni and their young son Matteo dead. Only their toddler daughter Lyla survived. She is soon kidnapped along with her daughter. The kidnappers use Lyla's fear to their advantage in an attempt to force Arianna into revealing the location of the smuggled equipment that her husband was meant to hide away. She tells the truth, saying she does not know, and to ensure that they believe her, she says that even if she knew, she would rather die than tell them. They ultimately spare Lyla, but Arianna is shot dead.

    Fifteen years later in 2025, Arianna is revived by scientists, who have taken in Lyla until her mother's resurrection. However, she only remembers her name and Lyla, and the head of the scientists, Wallace Overton, tells her that she was murdered. He claims that a bullet to her head was what would have caused her amnesia upon her revival.

    After Lyla introduces Arianna to other enhanced fighters, including former agent Nix, doctor Malcom Li-Han reveals to Arianna that her blood is a billion nanites, which grant her superhuman strength, agility, advanced intelligence, and regeneration. Upon waking up from a dream in her room, Arianna begins doing sit-ups and uses punching bags; she later takes a break, and spots Lyla swimming in the pool. The two immediately rediscover their mother and daughter relationship, though Arianna spots a photo of a familiar man. It happens to be the man who killed her, Giovanni, and Matteo. Remembering her own history and her eventual murder, she sets out for New York City to find him. Arianna learns that the killer is Darius McConaughey, and eventually kills him, before returning to the laboratory.

    However, Overton reveals that he framed Darius, as he did to many people, who were also killed by Arianna. However Lyla and Li-Han, having had enough of the lab's authority, betray their superiors and free the unconscious Arianna before they narrowly escape with her. As she wakes up, Arianna finally learns from Lyla and Li-Han that she was being used as a weapon; the trio vows to exterminate them for what they have done.

    Arianna takes on the identity of Bloodshot and later kills Overton's friend Carl Lancaster; in retribution, Overton sends Nix after the trio. Bloodshot returns to the lab and kills Overton, but not before he reveals that he orchestrated the murder of her husband and son, and had sent Nix to carry out that crime. Realizing that Lyla will never be safe as long as Nix lives, Arianna travels to Florida, personally beheads Nix's friend and mentor Orion, and eviscerates Overton's accomplices.

    Saving Nix for last, Bloodshot engages him in a violent and destructive fight. It eventually reaches a stalement when she defeats Nix, but she spares him, knowing that his death would not bring Giovanni and Matteo back; however, when Lyla arrives, Nix tries to kill her, forcing Bloodshot to fight him again, eventually overpowering him and giving him a hard punch, causing him to fall to his death while she lands safely.

    In the aftermath, Arianna reunites with Lyla and embraces her. Li-Han remarks that the world will be looking for Arianna. The trio makes a pact to hunt scientists who wish to control humanity as the end credits roll.
