So often criticised for his perceived limitations, Diesel puts that iconic monosyllabic cadence to wonderful use in his voiceover work. When Vin Diesel was cast as the limited vocabulary lumber in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy gamble, anybody doubting what he’d bring to the role clearly hadn’t wiped the tears from their eyes once the credits kicked in on Brad Bird’s magnificent adaptation of The Iron Giant.
Here at HeyUGuys it got us thinking about what Vin Diesel’s best roles are, and this is the ‘family’ we’ve come up with. The story of an enhanced super-soldier with the powers of regeneration and extraordinary strength. Vin Diesel’s Bloodshot arrives on VOD today. So with Wonder Woman ’84 isolated on Themyscira for a bit, and Bond asked to stay holed-up moping over what happened at the end of Spectre, it’s time for a new kind of superhero to emerge from the delays and cancellations. Well, it’s safe to say that we’re in a time of need, living life not a quarter of a mile at a time, but entire days, and so the power of escapism into the world of film as important as its ever been.
Throughout the annuls of history, cinema has taught us that a hero will arrive to save the day.
