Spilling secrets: The Guardians meet the Avengers

Vin Diesel confirms superheroes will be part of upcoming ‘Infinity War’

What Groot lacks in vocabulary, Vin Diesel made up for by spilling some Marvel news. In a Facebook live video that aired on the actor’s page on Friday, Diesel confirmed that the Guardians of the Galaxy will appear in the upcoming Avengers movie Infinity War, reported Variety.

“Now, the Guardians will be included in Avengers: Infinity War  and that is incredibly exciting,” he said, addressing the live audience. “You were told before everybody.”

The real purpose of the video was not for Diesel to break news about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but to show off an award he received from Facebook for having over 100 million fans

Diesel spends most of the 30-minute video telling his audience how much he appreciates their support for his career, including joining the Guardians franchise. “That whole concept started from you all saying, ‘When are you going to be in a Marvel movie?’” he added.

The actor, however, did not share any more details regarding what role the band of misfit heroes will play in the film. But before they appear in Infinity War, their own sequel Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will hit theatres on May 5, 2017.

In addition to Diesel, the core cast of Guardians includes Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper and Dave Bautista. Avengers: Infinity War is scheduled for release on May 4, 2018.
