The Fast & Furious 7 actor has been rumoured to be in talks with Marvel for weeks, and recently shared an image of Guardians of the Galaxy alien Groot on his Facebook page.

Speaking to Hero Complex , Diesel coyly addressed his interest in the tree-like alien Groot.
"I'm an actor. I can do whatever the [heck] I want. As an actor, not everything has to be the most obvious choice," he said. "And sometimes, the best thing you can do - as far as Steven Spielberg and his advice - is to defy expectations."
"So if everybody thinks you're going to go for this one thing and you flip it entirely and go for the strangest Marvel character [like Groot], it's interesting. And when something is interesting, it's inspiring."
He went on to say: "I get inspired by things. So, if somebody sends me a book of conceptual art that's the best character design work I've ever seen [then I'll react].
"I'm not kidding. I see that and I want to be a little cryptic, and I want to say something positive. Even if it's as cryptic as an old, dated image of a character."
Diesel also hinted that his possible involvement with Marvel would not require him to make a major time commitment.
"I'm so busy. The audience wanted Vin and Marvel, Vin and Marvel," the star said. "But I'm too busy to do a six-month role.
"So what Marvel came up with was really interesting… I am watching a social wave influence and in some ways guide their thinking."
The actor has also been linked to a role in The Avengers: Age of Ultron , but Marvel president Kevin Feige has stressed that with the company.
Guardians of the Galaxy opens in the UK and the US on August 1, 2014.
