WithVin Diesel’s new action-thrillerThe Last Witch Hunteropening in theaters this weekend, the actor has been making the press rounds as of late, where he continues to tease his potential involvement inMarvel’sInhumans. The actor hasn’t officially signed on yet, but he did tease how he might play the comic book characterBlack Boltin an interview from last week. The actor recently appeared onMTV’s podcast Happy Sad Confused, where he was asked ifInhumanswas an “‘if it happens, it happens’ type of deal,” i.e. a project that he isn’t quite sure about yet. The actor revealed thatMarvelhas to “woo” him with a “dope script” and a great director to get him to sign on.
“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 wooingMarvel, it’s a matter ofMarvelwooing 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 thatKevin (Feige)is capable of, because he dazzled me when he suggestedGroot. That was, like, profound to me. I thought [Groot inGuardians 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.”
At this time,Inhumansdoesn’t have any director, “dope” or otherwise, attached to the project. ScreenwriterJoe Robert Cole, a product of theMarvelwriters program along withNicole Perlman(Guardians of the Galaxy,Captain Marvel), wrote an early draft of the script, but it is believed the studio is looking for a new writer. The studio recently broughtJoe Robert Coleon board to write another one ofMarvel’sPhase Threeadventures,Black Panther.
Marvel’sInhumanshas been set for release on July 20, 2025, the last movie slated forPhase Three, coming just two months afterAvengers: Infinity War - Part II. No story details have been revealed as of yet, but the studio has already started setting up theInhumansstory on the ABC TV seriesMarvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.It was revealed last season that Skye (Chloe Bennet) is actually an Inhuman named Daisy Johnson, a.k.a. Quake. It still isn’t known how the TV show’sInhumanswill tie into the movie version at this time, but we still have just under four years until the movie hits theaters.
Vin Dieselfirst teased his potentialInhumansrole as Black Bolt several years ago, again hinting at it earlier this month, when he mentioned playing a character that would not require his voice. In theMarvel Comics, Black Bolt (a.k.a. Blackagar Boltagon) is the leader of the Inhumans, a character who has a voice that can emit destructive power, which leads him to remain silent for most of the time. What do you think about the possibility ofVin Dieselportraying Black Bolt inMarvel’sInhumans?
