Vin Diesel Says Black Bolt Role In INHUMANS Depends On Script And Director

"It’s not a matter of me wooing Marvel, it’s a matter of Marvel wooing me," said Vin Diesel regarding the possibility of playing Black Bolt in an Inhumans movie. Diesel added the caveat that he's confident Kevin Feige can do just that by doing two, specific things.

Out promoting The Last Witch Hunter, Vin Diesel briefly spoke with MTV about his potential turn as Black Bolt in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Currently scheduled to hit North American theaters on July 12, 2019, the project currently has no announced screenwriter or director, which is a big sticking point for Vin.  The Fast & Furious actor goes on to add that hes not campaignign for the role of Black Bolt, it's his if he wants it.  However, whether he wants it, depends on the script and who's in the director's chair.  "I don’t do too much if it happens. Do you know what I mean?'… I don’t do too much ’if it happens,’ it’s more at what level it will happen… it’s not a matter of me wooing Marvel, it’s a matter of Marvel wooing me. And I love them, but I’m just saying, show me a dope script and show me a great director, all of which I know that Kevin [Feige] is capable of, because he dazzled me when he suggested Groot. That was, like, profound to me.  I thought [Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy] was genius. I’m not doing anything just for work. I’m doing things that I can feel passionate about, and that I feel like I can contribute to.”

He isn't the best actor though, his marvel roles will be limited to a non speaking role and just voice acting

So did he basically confirm that he has the role of Black Bolt as long as Marvel has the right script and director. Sweet!

If this is done right, it could be one of Marvel's most unique and original films. My biggest fear is this ending up like Thor: The Dark World, with a bland story and characters. Marvel needs to put their all into the Inhumans. This is one franchise where they certainly need to go big or go home.

People will probably respond now with, "Well if he don't want it, he don't get it! But this seems entirely reasonable.

This would be Marvel chance to make a fantasy like movie, they could make the suits very comic accurate. They ruined their chance with Thor, they can redeem themselves with Inhumans.

Too old, too bald, too fat, and not strong enough of an actor to carry a film in a silent role where the subtlety of your performance is all in the face, expressions, body language, etc.

Pass,
Cast travis fimmel. Ragnar is already very close to what the character needs to be.

I actually wanted him to play Bolt, but after this, not so much. Who is Vin to be wooed? His movies are usually crap.

Tell you the truth I wouldn't mind Vin as Black bolt BUT I want to see Billy Crudup take the roll.

Im sorry... woo vin....no! The movie will happen with or without him. Same goes for Groot. If he wants in he should be thank full and not say they have to woo him. Screw him. You dont wan to be black bolt cause u dont like the director, then go make fast and furious 23 and piss off. There are loads of actors that can play black bolt!

The uneccessary HUBRIS is astounding.




I get where he's coming from, but he worded it wrong. It came off as conceited and thinking oneself's worth is greater than what it truly is

Reasonable, but this is the same guy who agreed to every Fast and The Furious movie.

I love you Vin but really? Babylon AD, Fast and Furious Franchise, Witch Hunter. If those scripts wooed you than Marvel has an easy job.

@blackandyellow Most of the movies he leads in are pretty terrible. His best movie is where he plays the voice of a robot. That's saying a lot.
