With the rush of superhero movies lately, it's somewhat surprising that action star Vin Diesel hasn't yet appeared as a comic hero. Well, as the actor revealed to
MTV the reason for that delay is partially that he's waiting to star in a film about a Marvel villain.
To hear his cryptic explanation

Now, it's worth noting that Diesel doesn't suggest that Marvel has yet approached him about playing this mysterious "complex villain." But it's interesting to consider which villain Diesel has in mind. Let the speculation begin!

He could totally be Apocalypse!!
I'd be excited about Drax. Maybe Diesel has a unique definition of villain. I mean, if they make a Silver Surfer origin movie, he was a pretty bad guy (actions anyway) before FF2ROTSS. I'd watch Diesel as SS, even though Doug Jones did a great job. I'd even watch it if Vin Diesel played both SS and Galactus.
I'd watch a Bullseye movie too.
Fuck, I'd watch a movie that was about Kingpin, and Daredevil was like, an ancillary or external character; they would only ever make reference to him as Daredevil, never Matt Murdoch. A Daredevil movie from the POV of the Kingpin, whom Vin would be AMAZING as.
But if Vin Diesel ignores the opportunity of playing Lex Luthor, then I'd go with Jason Statham as Lex.
Besides, I'm just not saying this cuz it's my opinion. It says right up there: "he's waiting to star in a film about a Marvel villain"
BTW, Cillian Murphy would be perfect, but 2 villains in 2 different franchises prolly wouldn't sell
