It's been rumored for some time that Vin Diesel is being courted by Marvel for a role in an upcoming superhero film. But which movie? And which role? Well, over on his Facebook page, Mr. Diesel (I can call him Mr. Diesel, right?) may have just dropped a hint about what that role might be. Quoth the action star:
"Marvel meeting today...Only the people in the room can tell you what was discussed...P.S. Thanks to our page, for pushing to make it happen...you know I get tunnel vision with my work...and after that meeting today...wow!"
Now, we might be reading into this quite a bit, but the key word here seems to be "vision." Diesel certainly has the build, the lack of hair, the properly shaped head, and the deep voice that one might associate with the Avengers' android member, The Vision. This is, of course, quite possibly a coincidental choice of words, but here he is posing in front of a giant reproduction of a vintage Avengerscover.
Alright, I'll admit...this is quite a leap in logic. But cut me some slack. We're dying for SOMETHING to get us through until San Diego next week! In the meantime, if Mr. Diesel lets anything else slip, we'll let you know.

Please be all-white-clad Vision and not ghastly Christmas-colored Vision!
I always imagined the Vision as someone with acting talent.
If you've seen Boiler Room, Saving Private Ryan, or Find Me Guilty, you'll know he's got it.
A speech impediment?
