Vin Diesel already has a celebrated place in Marvel’s cinematic universe thanks to his role as the voice of sentient tree Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy, but the Fast & Furious actor may have another — possibly on-screen — role in the works if some recent hints he dropped pan out.

Back in August, Diesel teased a potential connection to the upcoming Inhumans movie that’s scheduled to hit theaters in 2018, and now the actor is being a bit more overt with his suggestions that a role in the film could be in the works. Known for teasing his upcoming roles, Diesel posted an image to Facebook of himself wearing a shirt featuring the Inhumans movie logo, standing in front of text asking “Are You Inhuman?”

While the “Are You Inhuman?” tagline comes from a Marvel Comics miniseries,  the logo on his shirt is the same one that debuted when Marvel Studios announced the Inhumans film.

The Inhumans were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, and made their debut in a 1965 issue of Fantastic Four. The rulers of a civilization that willingly subjects themselves to powerful mutating agents in order to gain superhuman abilities, The Inhumans are led by the noble Black Bolt — a role many are speculating Diesel is up for — whose voice is capable of unleashing a powerful, destructive energy.

Given that his Guardians of the Galaxy role only required Diesel’s voice and the role of Black Bolt would require him to maintain silence for much of the film, there’s certainly some reason to believe this dual-role scenario could work out.

The Inhumans is scheduled to hit theaters November 2, 2018.

10 best PG-13 horror movies ever, ranked
Mary Elizabeth Winstead and John Goodman in 10 Cloverfield Lane.

True horror aficionados tend to prefer R-rated films for all of the gore, violence, and scares that are too extreme for PG-13 horror movies. However, R-rated horror movies don't tend to become blockbusters very often when compared to their PG-13 counterparts. It's also easy to forget that the PG-13 rating was created in the mid-80s when the standard PG rating was no longer sufficient for films like Gremlins or Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

While many of the best horror movies ever made, like The Exorcist, have effectively used their R-rated content, PG-13 horror movies tend to be a bit more creative to have the same effect. Many of our picks for the greatest PG-13 horror movies have come out within the last 24 years, which suggests that modern filmmakers have become more adept at playing within those limits. Keep reading, and you'll see why the following films are the best PG-13 horror movies.

All of James Cameron’s movies, ranked
Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Terminator.

At the 1998 Oscars, James Cameron infamously declared that he was "king of the world" while picking up the awards for Best Director and Best Picture for Titanic. As much as that line didn't go over well at the time, it's kind of hard to argue against Cameron. In the last 42 years, Cameron has directed nine feature films, three of which are among the highest-grossing movies of all time. He's not just one of the top directors in Hollywood -- Cameron is the most successful director ever.

Later this year, Cameron's breakout picture, The Terminator, will celebrate its 40th anniversary. In honor of that milestone, we're taking a look back at all of James Cameron's movies and ranking them from worst to first. Note that we're limiting this list to the feature films that Cameron directed, and not counting the two documentaries he helmed as well.
