James Gunn Thinks It's "Unlikely" Vin Diesel Will End Up Playing Black Bolt In THE INHUMANS
Guardians of the Galaxy star Vin Diesel has been teasing the possibility that he could play Black Bolt for years now, but James Gunn has weighed in on why he believes that's now highly unlikely...
Marvel Television and IMAX are spending a lot of money on The Inhumans, something which became clear when we learned that the eight part series will feature movie level visual effects. However, it doesn't sound like we should expect to see movie star like Vin Diesel in the show despite the fact that the Guardians of the Galaxy star has been campaigning for the role of Black Bolt for years now.
During a recent Q&A with fans on Facebook, James Gunn shared some thoughts on why he doesn't believe we'll see Diesel suit up as the leader of the Inhumans. "'The Inhumans' is going to be a TV show," he responded. "Unless Vin wants to take a huge pay cut and sign up to do a TV show it seems unlikely." That's not confirmation it won't happen, but the filmmaker gets a very good point here.
After all, no matter how much money is spent on The Inhumans, it's likely that the Fast & Furious lead makes more from just voicing Groot than he would from suiting up as Black Bolt. Of course, if he's passionate enough about the character, he'll make it happen regardless of the money. Then again, it's entirely possible that ABC and Marvel TV have someone else in mind. We'll have to wait and see.
