Vin Diesel to Meet with Marvel

"Never going to happen."

Those were the first words that came to mind when I read Vin Diesel posted on his Facebook page that Marvel had requested a meeting with him.

As great as it would be for an action star of Diesel's caliber to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I just don't buy Vin playing nice with the Marvel team.

If there's one thing you must know about Vin Diesel, it's that he is completely involved in every project he's in.  From the development of the script, to location scouting, to pre-production as well as post-production; the man demands input in every aspect because he is passionate about what he does and wants it done right.  It's why he's done nothing but Fast & Furious films the past 5 years along with another Riddick entry; Universal caters to his needs and allows him to have creative control over these projects because he makes them money with the one viable franchise they have.

Marvel on the other hand?  Are you kidding?  They basically tell every actor that walks into their offices that it's their way or the highway.  Just ask Terrence Howard, or better yet, any actor from The Avengers not named Robert Downey Jr.  They don't cater to anyone and won't allow scripts or whole projects for that matter to be altered to fit an actor's 'needs'.

Vin Diesel will probably take the meeting, but once he learns first-hand how rigid Marvel is with their films, give a polite, "Thanks, but no thanks."

Hey at least Marvel can say they tried.
