MARVEL wants to meet with VIN DIESEL. RIDE OR DIE as THANOS, AMIRITE?

Vinny Diesel

OH SHIT. I knew I had been good this year. Said my prayers. Eaten my vegetables. How else can I explain what is obviously the greatest casting that Marvel hasn’t made quite yet? The Studio that Tony Built has requested a meeting with one of the stars of This Summer’s Best Movie (So Far), and I’m half-giddy, half-delirious at the world we are living in.

Indie Wire:

It seems rumors are flying fast and furious this week for nerd franchises, so let’s get a handle on them, and kick off with one that is actually legit, followed by a couple others that are sort of ridiculous…

First up, Vin Diesel will get dorks talking late into the night as the actor revealed on his (kind of amazing) Facebook page: “Marvel has requested a meeting… no idea what for… haha, you probably know better than me…” And that’s it. So what can we surmise? Not much except Marvel wants to get into the same room as Vin Diesel, but we would presume that it would mean they want him for a pretty major character. Or maybe they want to tie the Marvel universe into the “Fast & Furious” for the ultimate crossover saga or maybe Riddick will join The Avengers. WHO KNOWS?
