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
