Vin Diesel gave a recap on what he’s working on in 2025 and hinted that he might return as Groot from Marvel’s "Guardians of the Galaxy".
The "Fast & Furious" actor gave a rundown of his work and mentioned a standalone project starring the extraterrestrial sentient tree-like creature.
“Disney wants their Planet X! Which some say is Marvel’s most anticipated movie, haha. The film where Groot returns to his home planet,” Diesel posted on Instagram.
Diesel voiced Groot for 2014’s "Guardians of the Galaxy" and reprised the role in 2017’s "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2", 2018’s "Avengers: Infinity War", and 2019’s "Avengers: Endgame".
The actor also made a cameo in Disney’s "Ralph Breaks the Internet", which was released in 2018.
It was not until 2022 when Diesel voiced the character again for 2022’s "Thor: Love and Thunder" and 2023’s "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3".
Groot also appeared in the Disney+ series "I Am Groot", with Diesel reprising the Baby Groot character, just like in 2022’s "The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special."
The other projects that Diesel is working on this year included "Fast X: Part 2", "Rock’em Sock’em" film adaptation, and new installments of "xXx", "Riddick", and "The Last Witch Hunter".
Diesel also revealed that he was continuing “the fight to bring Fast X2, the finale, back to LA this summer.”
The actor had previously expressed his desire to movie the latest installment of the "Fast & Furious" franchise in LA to help the local economy following the devastating wildfires.
“Last week, during the fires that displaced LA… my sister Jordana [Brewster] reached out to me and said… Please have Universal film the rest of Fast X Part 2 in LA,” Diesel said.
He continued, “Los Angeles needs it now more than ever… Los Angeles is where Fast and Furious started filming 25 years ago… and now Fast will finally return home. All love…”.
