Vin Diesel In Talks To Play Groot In ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’

Briefly: It looks like Vin Diesel’s secret Marvel role won’t be Vision OR Thanos, as many have been speculating for some time now.

Yesterday, Diesel himself posted a picture of Guardians of the Galaxy‘s Groot on his Facebook wall. The photo was briefly set as the actor’s cover photo, but has since been taken down (though you can still find it by looking through the timeline).

Deadline has since confirmed that Diesel is indeed in talks to join Guardians of the Galaxy, and if all goes well, he’ll be the voice of the CG, tree-like character, Groot.

This would mark yet another great addition to the already stellar cast of Guardians of the Galaxy. So far, the film stars Karen Gillan, Zoe Saldana, Chris Pratt, Lee Pace, Benicio Del Toro, John C. Reilly, Dave Bautista, Michael Rooker, Glenn Close, Djimon Hounsou, and more!

Would you be a fan of Diesel in the role? Anyone else you’d rather see? Sound out below!
