Vin Diesel talks XXX 3, Kojak, The Last Witch Hunter & Hannibal

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

In an interview with Collider, Vin Diesel gave updates on a few of his planned projects, including his long in development HANNIBAL biopic. We'll start with his THE LAST WITCH HUNTER, which will be Vin Diesel's next film. Rose Leslie just recently joined the upcoming movie, and Diesel says Michael Caine has been cast in THE LAST WITCH HUNTER as well.

I’m about to do a movie with Breck Eisner called The Last Witch Hunter where I play a 700-year-old New Yorker, which should be a lot of fun. Working opposite Michael Caine will be a blast. I’ve always wanted to work with Michael Caine so it’ll be the first time I get to work with Michael Caine. Rose Leslie is also gonna be opposite me, she’s amazing in Game of Thrones.

Vin Diesel goes on to say after THE LAST WITCH HUNTER, he'll be doing a movie version of KOJAK for Universal before he begins work on XXX 3.

Finally, Diesel says he still wants to make a biopic about Carthaginian military commander Hannibal, a project he has been talking about for a very long time.

And of course, the trilogy of Hannibal, the thing I’m most precious about and the thing that keeps me—it was just my birthday a couple of days ago and I woke up and I started to count my blessings, as we all do on our birthday, we count our blessing and then we think ‘How can I grow as a person, and how can I improve?’ And then I immediately went to, ‘I haven’t made Hannibal yet.

I really hope someday Vin Diesel will be able to do his HANNIBAL biopic, and I also think a KOJAK movie starring the actor could be a lot of fun. However, I have almost no interest in seeing a third XXX film. Which Diesel project are you the most interested in seeing?

Vin Diesel can be ~~seen~~ heard next in Marvel's GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY on August 1, 2014.
