The Valiant Comics cinematic universe has had a rough start. Vin Diesel’s Bloodshot had a disastrous opening weekend, which put the whole future of the project in doubt. In its defense, arriving just before the Coronavirus pandemic didn’t do it any favors at the box office and cinemas closing soon afterwards gave it a box office run measured in hours rather than weeks.

As it is, Valiant has only been represented outside of the comic page via several video games in the ’90s and a web series from a couple years ago centering around the character Ninjak.
If Bloodshot ends up driving enough interest, we might get another Valiant property on the silver screen to maybe push for a Valiant Cinematic Universe. At the very least, there should be some people interested in reading Bloodshot stories and maybe stretching into the wider comic universe.
So what is the Valiant Universe? Sure, it’s a world of superheroes, but there’s more to a connected comic universe than...
