Images of Vin Diesel as 'Kaldur' in his upcoming movie The Last Witch Hunter have surfaced and can be seen over at Screen Rant. The 'Guardians of The Galaxy' star has been rumored to to take the role of Blackbolt in Marvel's "Inhumans" movie.
After Guardians of the Galaxy's surprising success at the box office, it is reported that Marvel's Inhumans Movie will push through according to Collider.
The production of Guardians of the Galaxy was a gamble for Marvel Studios; introducing lesser-known heroes compared to those in the Avengers But the success of the unfamiliar characters in Guardians paves the way for the Inhumans, leading to Marvel giving the green light on its production.
Movie Pilot also confirmed the news, adding that the decision of the studio had been logical and carefully planned. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby introduced the "Inhumans" to the comic book world, debuting in "Fantastic Four" dating back to 1965.
Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige talks about "Inhumans" and its potential (via Slashfilm):
"Inhumans is cool, they're really great characters. The most powerful guy is the king who doesn't say a word and if he does - lookout. That's awesome. And the notion of the Terrigen Mists, this notion that you go through and don't know what you're going to be on the other side, is incredibly compelling dramatically. In other words, all the craziness that comes with Inhumans, we've done in the other movies already. But this would have some of the social drama that we haven't really done yet. [Fox's] X-Men, obviously, has been touching on that stuff for a while."
It is also rumored that Vin Diesel might return to another Marvel movie after his voicing duties with Guardians of the Galaxy as Groot. The 'Fast and The Furious' actor hinted at his possible lead cast with the Inhumans movie on his Facebook page in a post:
"Vin and Marvel... you all made it happen! I get the strange feeling that Marvel thinks I'm Inhuman... Haha."
Diesel might have also hinted his involvement with the Inhumans movie in an earlier interview with IGN:
"I get the call, I go down to Marvel. A great meeting. It was even talking about something so big I can't even talk about because it's like the merging of brands in a way, which I won't get into. That was something way, way, way, way, way down the road."
The story of the Inhumans franchise has connections to Guardians of the Galaxy, Agents of Shield and also the Avengers. Could we see this 'merging of brands' in the Inhumans movie?
