Will Vin Diesel play another Marvel superhero?

Vin Diesel and Marvel are a match made in heaven.

The actor totally killed it in this summer's Guardians of the Galaxy, and all he did was voice a tree that could only say "I am Groot."

Well now Diesel is driving fans absolutely crazy with a new Facebook cover photo:

https://www.facebook.com/VinDiesel/photos/a.10150844693113313.461646.89562268312/10153044404438313/?type=1&permPage=1

Posted Sunday night, the photo depicts Diesel in front of the words "Are you Inhuman?" wearing an Inhumans T-shirt, with no caption. The Inhumans, of course, are a group of Marvel superheroes that will be getting their very own movie in 2018. (Plus they have just become a big part of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Now, of course, we need to take this image with a grain of salt, since celebs have been known to simply post things they think are fun or even to mislead fans, but can we talk about how awesome this would be? He was great as Groot, but you'd think the Fast and the Furious star might want some super-action in front of the camera, instead of just in the recording studio. Diesel doesn't supply the motion capture for Groot (the way Andy Serkis does for Gollum), and Guardians 2 comes out in 2017, so that leaves him plenty of time to don an Inhuman mask.

Plus when Diesel was first rumored to be working with Marvel, there was much speculation that he might be playing Black Bolt, which would fit perfectly with his Groot duties since Black Bolt doesn't really speak (because his voice is so powerful it could level a city).

So even though this may just be the whim of Diesel on a Sunday night, we're kind of excited.
