AND IN THIS CORNER: He s been a WWII soldier, a race car driver, a sentient tree, and now.a Rock Em Sock Em Robot? It s complicated. Vin Diesel could very well be choosing red or blue in an upcoming film adaptation of the iconic children s game in which two players box with a pair of mechanical fighters, attempting to knock their opponent s head off (metaphorically, of course; we re not endorsing genuine decapitation here).
Diesel (who is set to return to the big screen this summer in
F9) will produce and star in the live-action project hailing from Mattel Films and Universal Pictures.
