They should have given him a wig so he doesn’t just look like white painted Vin Diesel.

Good Marvel characters- Bring Them Back!!!
My personal problem isn't that there's no comic book look. It's that this looks like a typical Sony and Vin Diesel action flick and they chose Vin Diesel to play the lead character. This is a new character from a new universe that hasn't been on the big screen before, but yet it feels like a movie I've already seen before. It's the exact same issue I had with the way Venom looked in the trailers and the same problem I might have with Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam. Both men are so overexposed in the action film genre that they're hired to play versions of themselves or versions of their popular characters on screen, instead of actually bringing a new character to life.
They could have had Diesel in white body paint and red eyes and I'd still have the same issue because it's Vin Diesel. And it's not like his movies outside of Fast & the Furious are huge box office hits. Yes he has a name, but does anyone care for him when he's not Dom Torreto?
Like, I really hope if we get that eventual NinjaK movie they just don't hire Scott Adkins and call it a day. It'll mean absolutely stunning fight scenes, sure. But it'll be such a generic pick.
Looks generic as hell. But for what’s its worth, I hope it’s a success so that more of Valiants characters can be on the big screen. Especially Livewire and Shadowman.

No mention of psiots at all and why does he look nothing like Bloodshot? this is just a Vin Diesel vehicle with the Valiant brand name, pass
In fairness, I think we do see him with glowing red eyes of a sort during the trailer so there's always the possibility of him gaining a more comics accurate look later in the film. Diesel did transform himself somewhat in that movie where he played a mafia boss and he's been in movies where he didn't even need to be on screen so I don't think he'd have an issue with a comics accurate look.
I couldn’t even finish the trailer.
Psiots are essentially the mutants of the Valiant universe. In recent comics Bloodshot has been directly tied to them and the mythology of Harbinger, he’s a “psiot killer” meaning he goes out and hunts super powered adults and children that his org sees as a threat, but of course in the end wants to protect them. I just assumed they would play a big role in this if they planned on tying it to Harbinger, but I guess they aren’t
