Hero Complex: OK, so why Groot?

 

Vin Diesel: I?m an actor. I can do whatever the ? I want. As an actor, not everything has to be the most obvious choice. And sometimes, the best thing you can do ? as far as Steven Spielberg and his advice ? is to defy expectations. So if everybody thinks you?re going to go for this one thing and you flip it entirely and go for the strangest Marvel character, it?s interesting. And when something is interesting, it?s inspiring.

 

Why did you post a picture of the character on Facebook this weekend?

 

Diesel: I get inspired by things. So if somebody sends me a book of conceptual art that?s the best character design work I?ve ever seen ? I?m not kidding, I see that and I want to be a little cryptic and I want to say something positive. Even if it?s as cryptic as an old, dated image of a character.

 

Marvel is notoriously secretive about its movies, and you?re very open. Isn?t it mad you?ve been dropping hints about ?Guardians??

 

Diesel: The last thing they are is mad. I?m pretty open, but I have been secretive about this. I went to Comic-Con and I got blasted while I was on the Hall H panel for ?Riddick.? Someone asked a Marvel question. I couldn?t say anything because of that secrecy.

I bet that's a fan-made picture because the cut out looks pretty cheap. They basically just cut out all the characters from the concept-art image, haha.

 

James Gunn tweeted it himself and he's the director lol

      Hello, Were you using a product or service from one of the companies affected by the Klue data breach?  See https://klue.com/blog/an-update-on-recent-klue-security-incident for the company's public statement.  That blog post does not list affected customer. From looking around at reports, I created this list: Gong HackerOne Huntress Insurity Jamf LastPass OneTrust Recorded Future ReliaQuest Salesforce Snyk Sprout Social Tanium It is likely there are other companies affected as well.

    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers by Karthik Mudaliar SpaceX reportedly wants to sell mobile phone plans directly to consumers in the United States as part of a wider expansion of Starlink. According to a report from the Financial Times, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell discussed the plan with investors during the company’s recent IPO roadshow. The company is also said to be considering building a terrestrial mobile network to complement Starlink’s satellite coverage. The plan is quite different from how Starlink currently operates in the U.S. mobile market. SpaceX already provides satellite connectivity for T-Mobile’s T-Satellite service, but T-Mobile remains responsible for the subscription, billing, and customer support. A Starlink-branded mobile service would give SpaceX control of the customer relationship instead. It could also turn the company from a partner of traditional mobile operators into a direct competitor. T-Mobile also began testing its Starlink-powered satellite service in early 2025. The beta was initially limited to text messaging and was also available to some AT&T and Verizon customers. The service has since expanded to support limited data access through selected apps, including WhatsApp, Google Maps, AccuWeather, and AllTrails. It is designed to provide a connection in areas where normal cell towers are unavailable, rather than replace a conventional mobile network. However, if SpaceX actually has a plan to serve nationwide, it needs to do more than just satellite networks and actually support on-ground operations. It can also partner up with existing carriers and become a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). With that said, SpaceX has already spent heavily to support its mobile ambitions. Just last year, the company agreed to acquire wireless spectrum licences from EchoStar in deals worth a combined $19.6 billion. EchoStar's spectrum includes AWS-4, H-Block, and AWS-3 frequencies that could be used for both satellite and terrestrial communications. According to a SpaceX securities filing, the Federal Communications Commission approved the transaction in May 2026, although it is not expected to close until late 2027. There's no official statement by SpaceX for now. Pricing, availability, and other details remain unknown. Source: Financial Times
