Vin Diesel: The Guardians of the Galaxy ‘will be included in Avengers: Infinity War’

"I'm Tony Stark."

"I am Groot."

Expect that to be an exchange sometime in Avengers: Infinity War because Vin Diesel has confirmed via his personal Facebook that the Guardians will be making an appearance in the film. With Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 set to release next summer, fans were beginning to wonder if it would really be three to four years until Star Lord and Company (likely) make another appearance in Marvel's Phase 4 in 2020/2021. Thankfully, that will not be the case.

Diesel hosted a live stream on his personal Facebook page to hype up his next film, xXx: Return of Xander Cage, but also dropped the news about the Guardians which (frankly) is the much more interesting news. He said:

"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?’ 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."
