Vin Diesel is Groot but will he play another Marvel character?
On the actor’s Facebook page is this message:
“Vin and Marvel… you all made it happen!
I get the strange feeling that Marvel thinks I’m Inhuman… Haha.”
Is Diesel teasing he’s in talks with Marvel for a role in the Inhumans movie or is this a tease to ignite the fans?
Marvel Comics is publishing a new Inhuman comic book. Issue three is out Wednesday. The Inhumans are the result of experiments by the Kree on ancient humans. In the new series the once isolated Inhuman Royal Family is coping with the sudden appearance of possibly millions of new Inhumans after a bomb unleashed the ancient genes. Ronan and Korath of Guardians of the Galaxy are members of the Kree.
Black Bolt is the King of Inhumans so you’d think Diesel is in line for the Royal role. The character does not speak because his voice can level a city. Ironic, if the actor is the voice of Groot gets a role that requires silence.
For your consideration, Diesel’s build and voice make him perfect to play Gorgon, a member of the royal family and Black Bolt’s cousin. This Inhuman has super strength and hooves for feet that can create seismic waves. Gorgon has served as Black Bolt’s bodyguard and trained young Inhumans after they first gained their new powers.
No official word on if Inhumans will be a future Marvel movie but they are a higher profile in comics.
Diesel does have the Inhuman quality to bring one of these powerhouse heroes to the big screen.
What do you think?
