Vin Diesel Exposes Spoilers

Last Friday, Vin Diesel took to Facebook and went live as he discussed what Marvel Movies fans can look forward to this coming 2017. During the live stream, Diesel said, "The Guardians will be included in 'Avengers: Infinity War' and that's incredibly exciting. Incredibly exciting."

Diesel also mentioned that he initially gave out clues to the franchise fans about the movie, or some aspects and characters of it, would have a connection with the Avengers. The actor mentioned that he once posed in front of an old Avengers poster while he was on set filming for the first GOTG movie. According to him, it was a sign that a crossover between the two Marvel Movies films will happen.

Unfortunately, Diesel wasn't able to expound on the details. There was no mention as to who among his co-stars Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, and Christ Pratt were going to appear in the third installment of Avengers.

In other news, "Avengers: Infinity War" directors, Anthony and Joe Russo, have revealed that the movie will be somewhat different compared to the other Avengers films.

Joe first hinted at the possibility of a crossover from one of the Marvel franchise when he sat down for an interview last month. He mentioned that there will be a "cross-pollination between characters" and that their storylines may somewhat intertwine. Based on the current news that Diesel revealed, the crossover mentioned earlier by the director was meant for GOTG franchise.

Infinity War and GOTG Share Filming Sets

The films' characters and storyline belong in the same universe that even their stories have overlapped in the comic series. According to which, Thanos' quest for the Infinity Stones was theorized to be the main reason why a crossover between the two Marvel franchises was inevitable.

Though the movies will be released on separate dates, filming for Infinity War will commence by November of this year in Atlanta, Georgia. GOTG, on the other hand, finished filming last month but Vin Diesel, among others will start filming with Infinity War cast members collectively.
