Vin Diesel already has a celebrated place in Marvel’s cinematic universe thanks to his role as the voice of sentient tree Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy, but the Fast & Furious actor may have another — possibly on-screen — role in the works if some recent hints he dropped pan out.

Back in August, Diesel teased a potential connection to the upcoming Inhumans movie that’s scheduled to hit theaters in 2018, and now the actor is being a bit more overt with his suggestions that a role in the film could be in the works. Known for teasing his upcoming roles, Diesel posted an image to Facebook of himself wearing a shirt featuring the Inhumans movie logo, standing in front of text asking “Are You Inhuman?”

While the “Are You Inhuman?” tagline comes from a Marvel Comics miniseries,  the logo on his shirt is the same one that debuted when Marvel Studios announced the Inhumans film.

The Inhumans were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, and made their debut in a 1965 issue of Fantastic Four. The rulers of a civilization that willingly subjects themselves to powerful mutating agents in order to gain superhuman abilities, The Inhumans are led by the noble Black Bolt — a role many are speculating Diesel is up for — whose voice is capable of unleashing a powerful, destructive energy.

Given that his Guardians of the Galaxy role only required Diesel’s voice and the role of Black Bolt would require him to maintain silence for much of the film, there’s certainly some reason to believe this dual-role scenario could work out.

The Inhumans is scheduled to hit theaters November 2, 2018.

Everything coming to PBS in November 2024
Rachel Shenton and Nicholas Ralph in All Creatures Great and Small.

There are no new British dramas premiering on PBS in November, but there's more than enough programming to see you through the penultimate month of 2024. Ken Burns is premiering his new documentary, Leonardo da Vinci, about the world's most famous Renaissance man, artist, and inventor. And PBS has several other documentary and nature programs slated to run throughout the month.

PBS' non-partisan coverage of the 2024 presidential election will culminate on Tuesday, November 5. But if you're really missing your British dramas, there are encore presentations of All Creatures Great & Small and Call the Midwife coming as well.

What’s new on Amazon Prime Video in November 2024
A man stands in front of a caution sign.

James Patterson's Alex Cross character is getting a third chance in live-action this month on Amazon Prime Video. Morgan Freeman and Tyler Perry have previously portrayed the titular detective character. Now, Black Adam's Aldis Hodge steps into the role. The new Cross series is Prime Video's biggest debut in November, but far from the only noteworthy addition. There are a lot of new additions to the streamer's movie lineup, including The Godfather trilogy, Silver Linings Playbook, and the unconventional vampire film Abigail.

Additionally, Prime Video is rebooting Cruel Intentions as a drama series, which has the potential to be another big hit for the streamer. And aside from Die Hard, there are only a handful of Christmas titles coming this month. We can appreciate a little restraint, especially since December will likely be a very different story.

Thanks to Disney's big summer at the box office, Disney+ gets to bring home the second-highest-grossing movie of the year in November. Deadpool & Wolverine is making its streaming debut on November 12, but it's not the only noteworthy new addition to Disney+. If you've ever loved the Star Wars and Indiana Jones themes of John Williams, then you should watch the new documentary Music By John Williams, which is available on Disney+ as of November 1.

A really charming Christmas-related animated short, An Almost Christmas Story, is arriving on November 15, while Beatles '64 adds yet another Beatlemania documentary to Disney+ on November 29. On that same date, Disney is also celebrating the 60th anniversary of Mary Poppins this month by releasing a special documentary about one of Walt Disney's personal favorite films. And finally, Disney gets to capitalize on the release of Wicked by bringing Oz the Great and Powerful to Disney+ near the end of November.
