Vin Diesel Teases Possible Role in 'The Avengers 2'

The question is, who would he be?

We heard a rumor before that Marvel was interested in meeting with Vin Diesel. Speculation arose but there wasn't really any concrete leads. Up until now.

On the actor's Facebook page, he presented the following image:

No Caption Provided

The caption simply said, "Marvel meeting today... Only the people in the room can tell you what was discussed..."

Now we can once again speculate who he might be. Standing in front of an Avengers poster suggests it's a role for Avengers 2. Is there any significance to this particular image or was it just the only one available? What do you all think? Vision? Hank Pym? (Probably not). Someone else?

Not Vision, please not Vision. Hopefully just a villain. Don't get me wrong, I want Vision to be in Avengers but played by a different actor.

I think Vin Diesel can pull it off. He did another robotic character before with Iron Giant.

NO ONE! Vin Diesel f*ckng sucks at acting.

While normally he's cast for the typical plain tough guy, I've seen him doing some good acting. He did a very good job in diablo (the film, not the videogame that is a completly unrelated thing, I recommend it).

I hope he isn't Hank Pym as he doesn't look like Hank Pym, but he could be a good Vision, Thanos or Absorbing Man.

Please not Hank Pym, Vision or Wonder Man. :(

Space Phantom would be fine though.

I think he would be a great Vision. They just need to use CGI on his Face so it looks like a actual robot face and not a human face. Again Vision having a iRobot face would be perfect IMO. I think it would be HILARIOUS if he played Luke Cage. I would still trash talk about the idea but I would laugh my 4$$ off if they did that.

Am I the only one that thinks a Bald Wonder Man is kind of weird? Then again he looks AWEsome as Riddick so he can pull it off. Hank Pym, please that's obviously a ruse. I mean a Buff Hank Pym, C'mon son.

What if it is all a Ruse and he won't be in the Avengers 2?

What if he is playing a totally different role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

What about him playing the Executioner?

Or playing Drax?

What if Marvel saw that the fans didn't like Batista?

What if he's playing a new character like a Chitari Super Soldier?

( + )

I don't like Batista. Wrestlers are horrible actors except for The Rock but he's had some bad movies too. I think Vin Diesel should play Drax as well.

Possible character ideas (Whatever the movie): Darkhawk, Count Nefaria, Jack of Hearts, Machine Man, Graviton, Grim Reaper, Starhawk, Korvac, Maelstrom, Nighthawk, U.S.Agent, & Taskmaster.

But DEFINITELY NOT PYM! THAT WOULD SUCK!!!

I don't know if anyone noticed but in the photo Vin Diesel is standing next to an Avengers #2 copy/portrait - this is what makes me believe he WILL be in Avengers 2.

As for who he's playing, I think he will indeed be playing a hero. I certainly hope Marvel considered his and the fans mini campaign for him to play The Vision :)

Eh... Don't get me wrong. He's an good actor and all. But I can't see him being in The Avengers II. :-/ That's my opinion. I just... I can't see it myself.

I'd rather see him as Wonder Man than Vision, but he'd be okay in either role. The only issue I'd have with him is that he's so well known that I'd see "Vin Diesel" instead of the character, but then again I got over that for SamJack and ScarJo so I guess I can get over it with VinD.

@ninjashroom: As a white guy I'm saying he's not Black enough. Terry Crews would be my pick. He'd be a perfect Drax though!

He'll play Luke Cage, obviously.

I think that, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, could be a good Luke Cage.

As for Vin Diesel...probably Vision.

He's obviously playing Wasp, that's the reason he's blocking her in that Avengers cover.

Re: Gail Simone Won't Be Writing Batgirl's Zero Year Tie-In

The other thing is that DC made some grand comment that "we didn't push Zero Year as a tie-in! The creators came to us saying the loved the idea and wanted to be involved!"

Yeah. The creators. Who you then toss off the book they said they were excited to write?

Can't have it both ways, Harras.

Also, I won't say that Batgirl has been absolutely brilliant. But let's face facts... We can never be sure, in any book, if we're getting the story the writer wanted to tell, or the one that they were forced to rewrite (or was rewritten for them) at the last minute. Since Gail has written some of my favorite comics before this New 52, I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. And it's not like this is anywhere near as crap as Teen Titans has been since issue #1.

If Angela made it into Marvel universe, why not Futurama's Zapp Brannigan? :)

I think he can play the Vision, he has the right head shape.
