Vin Diesel Joins STX's Action Comedy 'Muscle'

"I’ve known Vin for more than a decade after working closely with him on the Fast and Furious franchise, and I’m excited for him to return to this genre,"  STX film chairman Adam Fogelson said Wednesday in a statement.

Diesel also voices Groot in both of the Guardians of the Galaxy films and currently can be seen in Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War. His upcoming projects include Sony's Bloodshot and then xXx4 — in which he will star and produce — which is slated to begin production in December.

Diesel and his One Race Films earlier teamed with finance and production company The H Collective to acquire the rights to the xXx action-adventure franchise from Revolution Studios.

Diesel is repped by CAA and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.

STX’s recent releases include I Feel Pretty, starring Amy Schumer, and A Bad Moms Christmas, starring Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn.
