In an interview with Maria Menounos (via Bleeding Cool), Diesel says he and Marvel are still discussing the role for the mystery 2016 Phase 3 film .
âWhen I met with Marvel it wasnât for anything immediate, it was to talk about a film that would be introduced in the Phase 3 part of Marvel, not for a few years. You wouldnât be able to see it for a few years. In my mind, Marvel were doing it right, they were enrolling me at the ground level which is the best way to enroll me.â
âI get the call, I go down to Marvel. A great meeting. It was even talking about something so big I canât even talk about because itâs like the merging of brands in a way, which I wonât get into. That was something way, way, way, way, way down the road.â
Though Diesel teased the meeting to no end on social media, he says he and Marvel agreed to not speak about specifics, and then Comic-Con happened.
âWe had agreed not to say anything about the specifics of the meeting. So, now Iâve got the fans who I love more than I love the industry, than I love everybody⌠I was thinking âIâve got to be real with them, Iâve got to tell them somethingâ and yet I want to be respectful of peopleâs process and if people like to do a slow reveal, you know?ââ
