Vin Diesel recently starred in Guardians of the Galaxy as the humanoid tree Groot. Following his casting in the film, it was revealed that Diesel had been in contention for another Marvel role, although there was no word on the mystery project. However, Diesel has since made several references to the Inhumans, leading to speculation that he could be set to feature in the Phase Three. Now he’s at it again, posting the following image to Facebook…
Diesel actually confirmed his role in Guardians of the Galaxy before Marvel made it official, so there’s a chance that he could have already reached a deal to appear in the 2018 release. Previous speculation has pointed to Diesel possibly playing Black Bolt, who is the leader of the Inhumans, whilst others have suggested that he may provide the voice and motion capture for the character of Lockjaw, who works as the teleporter for the Attilan Royal family and takes the form of a giant bulldog.
Inhumans is set for release November 2nd, 2018.

Black Bolt! You get all the good things Vin can do and you eliminate what he is bad at.
MarWash says
sure, he wont have to speak verbally, but he’d still have to do a lot of emoting with only his facial expressions…
Terry says
Haha. He either plays the KING or…the pet dog.
LogicalLeopard says
*LOL* Somedays you’re the king, somedays you’re the dog….
And how is he going to do the MOTION CAPTURE for Lockjaw? Does he have a particular talent for walking on all fours? And I’m pretty sure Lockjaw doesn’t speak.

think tom hardy would have made a better batman ,but i can see how that would confuse some people!
Daniel says
What the hell are u talking about?
Aledco says
Come on Vin, the obvious role for you is Gorgon, your voice has the right gravel, and besides Black Bolt and Lockjaw both avoid speaking, Bolt’s voice is destructive, Lockjaw was so deformed by the terragen that he allows others to think he is some huge pet rather than a family member. Besides the hoves would be you man.
MSJ says
Lockjaw have always been a dog.
Professor X says
Gorgon.
Alexander Michael Chapman says
God, I hope it’s Black Bolt. First he voices a character, then he plays a character who can’t talk. Oh, man that’s just AWESOME. Plus he has the physique of BB. Just make him BB, Marvel. Please?
hectoruno says
I just saw Fast and Furious 6. I could see him playing Black Bolt or Trigon.
RK says
Black Bolt would be the great cast for him. He is a man with a few words in his movies.
marco says
I don’t recall LockJaw speaking. did he?
Terrigan mister says
He would make a perfect Medusa! Haha. Joking aside, he has the look to play Blackbolt or Gorgon, or Karnak for that matter, no reason either why he cudnt play Triton with a bit of make up. Marvel are probably looking for a younger actor to play Blackbolt though. This is the upcoming Marvel movie im most hyped for. If GotG is ‘Avengers in space’, then Inhumans is ‘alien x-men’. BOOM
