Vin Diesel already has a celebrated place in Marvel’s cinematic universe thanks to his role as the voice of sentient tree Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy, but the Fast & Furious actor may have another — possibly on-screen — role in the works if some recent hints he dropped pan out.

Back in August, Diesel teased a potential connection to the upcoming Inhumans movie that’s scheduled to hit theaters in 2018, and now the actor is being a bit more overt with his suggestions that a role in the film could be in the works. Known for teasing his upcoming roles, Diesel posted an image to Facebook of himself wearing a shirt featuring the Inhumans movie logo, standing in front of text asking “Are You Inhuman?”

While the “Are You Inhuman?” tagline comes from a Marvel Comics miniseries,  the logo on his shirt is the same one that debuted when Marvel Studios announced the Inhumans film.

The Inhumans were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, and made their debut in a 1965 issue of Fantastic Four. The rulers of a civilization that willingly subjects themselves to powerful mutating agents in order to gain superhuman abilities, The Inhumans are led by the noble Black Bolt — a role many are speculating Diesel is up for — whose voice is capable of unleashing a powerful, destructive energy.

Given that his Guardians of the Galaxy role only required Diesel’s voice and the role of Black Bolt would require him to maintain silence for much of the film, there’s certainly some reason to believe this dual-role scenario could work out.

The Inhumans is scheduled to hit theaters November 2, 2018.

The 50 best movies on Netflix right now (April 2024)
Staz Nair and Djimon Hounsou in Rebel Moon: – Part Two The Scargiver.

It's always a bit of an adventure to try and stay ahead of the most popular movies on Netflix, especially when films like the unheralded 2019 action thriller Anna leap to the very top of the list. Because after spending a lot of money on Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver, Netflix would obviously like to see that original film land in the top spot. Time will tell if the second half of Rebel Moon outperforms the first part. but action fans are really going to enjoy their movie nights this weekend.

Fortunately, Netflix isn't reliant on any single genre. The streamer has a vast library of original movies across all genres, including comedies, dramas, thrillers, romantic comedies, horror, and more. And we've put together the standout titles in our roundup of the best movies on Netflix right now.

The 50 best shows on Netflix in April 2024
Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer in Killing Eve.

Unlike some of its streaming rivals, Netflix has so far been able to weather the slowdown in production from last year's Hollywood strikes. There have still been big Netflix originals like 3 Body Problem, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Gentlemen, and Ripley. But Netflix has also maintained momentum with key additions from other networks and studios. There's no better example of that this week than the two latest shows to debut on Netflix: Killing Eve and Black Sails.

Killing Eve was a BBC America original spy thriller that was already a hit on cable, and is finding an even bigger audience as it climbs the list of the most popular shows on Netflix. Starz's TV-MA pirate series Black Sails isn't far behind. And while Black Sails only had modest ratings on Starz, it may also reach a far wider audience than ever before.
