During a Facebook livestream Vin Diesel went ahead and spilt the beans on what we can expect regarding Guardians of the Galaxy v Avengers for upcoming film, Infinity War:

"Next year you've got 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' coming and that whole concept started from you all saying 'when are you gonna be in a Marvel movie?'" he recalled. "And you remember the first picture after that Marvel meeting that I had where I was standing [with] the Avengers thing in the back -- some of you can look up that picture…there was this old Avengers copy that was behind me in that picture if you look back on my Facebook page you can find that."

"What's gonna be surreal is that picture is going to come to pass because now the Guardians will be included in 'Avengers: Infinity War' and that's incredibly exciting. Incredibly exciting. Incredibly exciting and something that if you were a part of our page you knew before everybody," he added.

Vin Diesel is best pony.

In case you forgot that Vin Diesel was a big geek, he shamelessly reminded you on his Facebook page July 19.

The big man was celebrating his 48th birthday in his own style with this gorgeous cake shaped like Dungeons & Dragons books.

He also said as much to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show.

Also Rose Leslie (Ygritte from Game of Thrones) stars in the movie!

Vin Diesel posted the above image of Groot on his Facebook page with no context or accompanying message. He's previously hinted his involvement with Guardians of the Galaxy at ComicCon and posted a photo of himself at the Marvel office. We know he's involved with Marvel somehow, but in what role remains to be seen.
