Action fans don't need much of an excuse to be cheerful, but after Marvel Studios announced that Vin Diesel was in talks with them for a future role in a Marvel movie some weeks back (probably Avengers: Age Of Ultron movie) something later confirmed by Diesel himself they're going to thrilled. Now, for an actor like Diesel, taking a role in a superhero movie seems to be the next step after impressing audiences with his grizzled work on the Fast and Furious franchise, and superhero-dom is always a great next step for an actor to take. But who will this actor portray in the shared universe? It's no secret that there are many characters to choose from, some of which can be suited to Diesel, question is, who will he be? Will he be the big bad villain Thanos? Will he bring life to synthetic android The Vision? Or maybe he will be something completely different that no one is expecting. Here are my 4 choices from what we might see this actor bring to life on the Marvel silver screen in the future...
4. Thanos
Some fans have speculated that the role Diesel will be playing is that of Thanos, who looks to be The Avengers' big bad some time down the line. Now, seeing as the news has been described as "big", this is very possible. Vin Diesel would be a fine choice to play this character, with his deep voice and physical presence providing the intimidation factor needed to play a villain. If he is indeed playing Thanos, however, let's hope they only use a bit of CGI, as the look of Thanos can easily be done in make up that's slightly enhanced by CGI, in order for Vin Diesel to keep his intimidating facial structure. Benicio del Toro was previously linked to this role, however it has been reported that he will play The Collector instead. Vin Diesel would be a fine choice to play Thanos, and this seems to be a very likely choice that the studio would go for, seeing as Thanos isn't that well known to the public, yet the popularity of the Fast and Furious franchise has shown us that general moviegoers do like Vin Diesel.
