Vin Diesel As Black Bolt In 'Inhumans' Movie? Groot Actor Teases In Facebook Post! Is This His Secret Marvel Project?

After the breakthrough success of "Guardians of the Galaxy" Vin Diesel has a 'thank you' message for his 70 million strong Facebook fans. But it wouldn't be Vin Diesel if there weren't some teasing and trolling going on. 

Vin Diesel was reported to have visited Marvel about a year ago prior to the Groot announcement. Even after he admitted that he was Groot, fans would not accept that he would take on what was seemingly a minor role (which is actually a fair and logical assessment). 

Diesel also teased that he had a secret project in an interview with Maria Menounos at Perez Hilton:

"When I met with Marvel it wasn't for anything immediate, it was to talk about a film that would be introduced in the Phase 3 part of Marvel, not for a few years. You wouldn't be able to see it for a few years. In my mind, Marvel were doing it right, they were enrolling me at the ground level which is the best way to enroll me.

I had heard people over the last year, people saying on the social media page saying 'What's up Vin? Why aren't you going to Marvel? Why aren't you doing anything with Marvel? It would be a crime of cinematic history for you not to be in [Marvel movies]'

So I was thinking 'This Marvel thing is really becoming really important for these people. What can I do? What should I think about?'

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 brandsin a way, which I won't get into. That was something way, way, way, way, way down the road."

The estimate is that the project would fall on 2016 or 2017. Which means the project should be taking shape right about now.

Now, on his Facebook, there's a close up picture of Groot, with thiis caption: 

"Vin and Marvel... you all made it happen!

I get the strange feeling that Marvel thinks I'm Inhuman... Haha."

Now, Diesel has been in this game for too long to not know that speculation is hanging on his every move. He cannot dismiss that as a typographical error! 

Of course, the most logical role for Vin Diesel would be Black Bolt, the leader of the Inhmans. He certainly has the presence for it, But Black Bolt is mute, except when he channels his supersonic power. Still not making use of Diesel's unique, gravely voice, Marvel?
