THOUSANDS OF MORONS THINK VIN DIESEL IS PLAYING THE VISION IN AVENGERS 2
Yesterday, actor Vin Diesel posted a picture of Marvel Comics character The Vision as his profile photo on Facebook, so of course, thousands of people instantly assumed that meant he was going to play the heroic android in Avengers 2. Apparently, Diesel often uses photos of his previous roles as profile pictures, which kickstarted the casting rumor.
