For all intents and purposes, Bloodshot is married. It’s the fictional death of his fake wife, Gina, that spurs Bloodshot into action. Without that connection, false as it might be, RST’s whole plan for manipulating Ray falls apart.
And yet, if you thought you picked up on some sexual tension between Ray and KT in the film’s final scene, you’re not alone. KT totally has the hots for Ray, and it seems like Ray is starting to feel the same way. Because of the movie’s premise — KT could fall in love with Ray over time, but not the other way around — their romance had to take an unusual form. “Because of Bloodshot’s total memory loss, this could never be a conventional love relationship,” director Dave Wilson says. “I wanted a love story that the audience didn’t see coming.”
Of course, the movie drops plenty of hints that Bloodshot and KT are going to end up as an item. When a devastated Ray learns that nobody came to collect his body, KT reassures him that there’s someone out there who loves him. At the time, you’re supposed to think KT is referring to Gina, who’s still alive, but no — she’s talking about herself. It doesn’t stop there, either. There’s the light flirting when the two take shots. There’s the way Ray watches KT during her underwater workout. Ray and KT never kiss, but the attraction is real. You didn’t just imagine it.
