Without any information about Muscle’s story, we can’t yet discern what we can expect from Vin Diesel as the movie’s lead.
However, it’s been a while since he starred in an action-comedy, rather than a pure action movie with some comedic elements.
Still, Muscle will ideally be a good way for Diesel to stretch his acting chops a little bit, blending his tough guy persona with a story peppered with more shenanigans and laugh-out-loud moments (just as long as we don’t get anything remotely close to resembling The Pacifier).
The Guardians of the Galaxy movies come close, but it’s not really the same since Diesel isn’t actually appearing on screen, instead reciting his many versions of “I am Groot” after principal photography has concluded.
