* DevelopmentHell: The film remained in limbo for nearly a decade, with early development in 2012 (with Creator/JaredLeto planned to take the role) stalling out for several years, along with a rotating stable of writers, producers and attempts to build a "Valiant Cinematic Universe" based on the comic publisher. It was only when Diesel joined the production in 2017 that other cast members joined and production began, eventually resulting in its release in March 2020.

* BoxOfficeBomb: Albeit for reasons totally unrelated to the movie's actual acceptance among moviegoers - ''Bloodshot'' was released right as the Usefulnotes/Covid19Pandemic really kicked in, and the following week was the one where movie theaters around the globe ended up closed to contain the coronavirus from spreading. Thus it only earned $37.3 million worldwide on a $45 million budget, but the movie wound up a steady and successful performer on VOD, and the producers are still planning a sequel.

* CaliforniaDoubling: South Africa doubles for London. And not particularly well, either. "London" features armed police patrolling the streets, scrub brush in the alleyways and massively incorrect licence plates on cars.
** It was an Armed Response Unit vehicle, though that still doesn't explain why they'd have an unsecure and loaded H&K submachine gun where anyone can grab it.

** The film itself was intended to jumpstar a "cinematic universe" based on Valiant Comics properties, with plans for a ''Harbinger'' spinoff (listed above) and additional sequels leading up to a "Harbinger Wars" crossover. With the rights for ''Harbinger'' going to Paramount Pictures in 2019, it remains to be seen if the original crossover universe concept will continue.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Creator/MichaelSheen was tapped to play Dr. Emil Harting, but had to drop out before production began due to scheduling problems.
** An earlier version of the script originally concluded with a post-credit scene that would have debuted Creator/KenWatanabe as Toyo Harada, also known as ComicBook/{{Harbinger}}, who would have introduced himself to Bloodshot via controlling a dire wolf. Due to external factors (likely rights issues), the planned cameo was scrapped and the film was written as a standalone project.
