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.”
