  Vin Diesel was and is such an odd pick. Maybe 10 years ago it’d make more sense.

    It was apparently announced in 2020 so assume they put him on the short list in closer to 2018. So 7-ish years ago.

    And… Vin Diesel of 2018 (even 2022) was a REALLY good pick. Nerds like him because of Riddick. Normies like him because of Dom. And he is very much the kind of celebrity who will go WAY too hard on marketing for video games/“nerd shit”.

    Of course, in the interim we received MANY reminders that he is, at best, a perv and more likely a sex pest. And the Fast and the Furious series cratered harder than gal gadot getting yeeted off an airplane on the world’s longest runway.
