When you have nearly 89 million fans who like your Facebook page, you can make an impact on social media and things can instantly go viral. This is the level of awesome that actor Vin Diesel has achieved on his Facebook page.
Because of his huge social media fan base, this is part of the reason that Diesel likes to mess with his own fans and more specifically Marvel's fans over the past year-plus. He began doing it over a year ago when he posted an image of Vision and fans immediately began to wonder if he was going to be Vision in Avengers: Age of Ultron. But he was just teasing.
Then, he posted a first appearance image of Groot which was another tease because he was not confirmed to voice Groot, and even denied it multiple times, until he was officially confirmed in the role. Next, Diesel thanked fans for falling in love with Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy and then hinted that "I get the strange feeling that Marvel thinks I'm Inhuman..." on one of his Facebook posts.
Now, the actor has committed the ultimate tease by posting a new Facebook page cover image with him wearing an Inhumans shirt with the phrase "Are you Inhuman?" in the background. This image was on his profile for about four hours before being pulled down and replaced. He obviously got a call from Marvel executives telling him to pull it down.
There's been a tremendous amount of speculation that Diesel could be the Inhumans leader Black Bolt, who's super power is his voice which means he is mostly mute until he speaks and causes mass destruction. It's actually a funny role for the actor because while he is also voicing Groot in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, it would make perfect sense to then have a role where he is pretty much a mute.
Stay tuned because now that an Inhumans movie is officially confirmed to be coming in Phase 3, there's sure to be more teases from the actor in the new year.
Inhumans is scheduled to release in theaters on November 2, 2018.
