Yep, He’s Groot

It’s official: Vin Diesel is now part of the Marvelverse.

For whom he will play a trunk.

Yes, as speculated all summer and fall, the Fast star will play the giant tree-creature-like alien Planet X denizen Groot in next summer’s Guardians of the Galaxy.

The Aug. 1 blockbuster stars Chris Pratt, Zoë Saldana, Bradley Cooper, Lee Pace, Glenn Close, and Benicio Del Toro.

And on a related note, Diesel has announced that the upcoming Fast & Furious 7 will now open on April 10, 2015.

The movie was meant to open next summer, but production was halted in the wake of Paul Walker’s death last month.

Diesel also shared a picture of himself with Walker, of the last scene they filmed together.
