Vin Diesel has always been one of the celebrities people look forward to posting on Facebook. The actor, who voiced the adorable talking tree in "Guardians of the Galaxy" said that he's still in for a larger role in the Marvel universe and it seems that a Facebook photo has hinted what he will be playing next.

According to the New York Daily, the actor posted a cover photo of himself wearing an Inhumans shirt, which lead to rumors saying that he would be playing Blackbolt, a fan-favorite character who also happens to be the leader of the titular race called "Inhumans."

This isn't the first time that Diesel posted a teaser about being in the "Inhumans" movie, either. In August, Time reported that he also posted a photo on his official Facebook site, captioned, "I get the strange feeling that Marvel thinks I'm Inhuman... Haha."

Marvel Studios has in fact been wanting to recruit Diesel into a bigger role in the cinematic universe, considering his fan base. Marvel Studios chief, Kevin Feige said to NY Daily, "He has a very vocal fan base on Facebook and they started creating this grassroots groundswell of, 'What are Vin and Marvel going to do?'"

Blackbolt would ba an interesting character for Vin Diesel to play, with ABC News pointing out that the ability of the hero to unleash great power of destruction with the use of only his voice would be perfect for Vin Diesel to play.

Before fans could get excited about the actor's next possible role, however, they must also remember that he is a big comic book geek, and in 2013, gave fans false hopes about being cast as "The Vision" for "Avengers: Age of Ultron," but the role eventually went to Paul Bettany.

AV Club even mentioned that it's possible that Diesel just really wants to be part of the film instead of teasing his involvement on the project, even teasing that it would be fun to see how else the actor will draw out his interest on playing a superhero, like posting on his DeviantArt page, or something like that.

Marvel made no comments about Vin Diesel's post yet, as the cast is yet to be announced. The rest of the members of the "Inhumans" include Medusa, Karnak, Gorgon, Triton, Maximus the Mad, Crystal, and Lockjaw.

Do you think Vin Diesel would make a good superhero besides being Groot?
