Anyone who follows Vin Diesel on Instagram knows that the actor has an incredibly positive outlook on life. That's probably why, despite the fact that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hasn't even arrived yet, he's already making future plans for his Groot character.
In a new interview with MTV (viewable below), Vinny D said he and director James Gunn have already tossed the idea of a Groot spinoff around.
"I think it's inevitable, I think that character is so enigmatic," the actor said. "He was already one of the most unique characters in the Marvel universe, and I think what Marvel has done — primarily what James Gunn has done — to realize that character has exceeded beyond any of its expectations. I think he's just such an interesting character, and there's so much to learn about him. I would love to go back to his planet and learn more about him, and I think the world would, [too]."
Of course, before any sort of Groot spinoff is confirmed, we'll first see the weird tree man return in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, which finally arrives on May 5.
