Filming on Valiant’s Bloodshot film, which stars Vin Diesel in the title role, will reportedly begin this May.
Production will take place at Origo Film Studio in Budapest, Hungary and in Capetown, South Africa, according to Omega Underground. However, it’s possible that shooting on Furious 9 may affect that schedule, as it’s currently unknown when filming will begin in the ninth installment in that franchise.
Currently, the exact start and end dates for the production remain unknown.
