So, what role could Marvel be eyeing the Fast & Furious star for? There are still a couple of parts available in Guardians of the Galaxy (namely Rocket Raccoon, Groot and potentially Thanos), but James Gunn's upcoming space epic is set to film at the same time as Fast & Furious 7, so there could be scheduling issues there. You'd have to assume that Ant-Man and the heavily-rumoured Doctor Strange are off the cards, unless they're planning on featuring him as a villain in one of those movies. Black Panther could be a possibility, while Diesel himself has previously expressed an interest in portraying the Vision.
Would you like to see Diesel joining the Cinematic Universe, and if so, what role would you like to see him take on? Let us know in the comments below...
