Vin Diesel has hinted that he might be (ahem) branching out beyond his role as Groot, with another major Marvel franchise in the form of The Inhumans .
“Vin and Marvel… you all made it happen,” mused Diesel in a recent post on his Facebook page. “I get the strange feeling Marvel thinks I’m Inhuman… haha.”
Now, before we get too excited, it should be pointed out that a film of The Inhumans has not been confirmed by anyone official, despite rumours some years ago that Marvel Studios was eyeing the franchise.
The comic-books follow a group of characters who were created by Kree experiments on primitive man. With the Kree having abandoned their work, their subjects were left to form a society of their own, resulting in the titular community of misfits.
With the similarly low-profile Guardians Of The Galaxy having performed so well at the box office, it could well be that Marvel is looking to adapt another leftfield comic, although at this stage, we’d say Diesel is likely getting a little ahead of himself.
Still, if his sterling work as Groot is anything to go by, we’d be more than happy to be proved wrong…
