I’ve tried not to post all the rumors floating around about Vin Diesel’s talks to be in some mysterious Marvel film project. That’s because right now it’s simply that–rumors. Rumors that Diesel has been fanning the flames of by dropping hints here and there, but not a shred of concrete information has come from it. Now, Diesel has given an interview with The Hollywood Reporter where he discussed exactly what has been going on with all the Marvel rumors surrounding him. The interview still doesn’t give us any concrete information, but it does suggest that there will be some sort of collaboration between Diesel and Marvel at some point in the future. The biggest rumor is that he’ll be playing Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy. And by playing Groot I mean he’ll be doing the motion capture for the character and saying his one line “I am Groot” in a dozen different ways. We still don’t have anything official about that in the interview, but it does look like he’s in talks with the studio. Watch it and decide for yourself:
Guardians of the Galaxy will be released August 1, 2014. Will it have Diesel in it? Are you hoping it will? Tell us what you think in the comments!
