“I am Groot?” — Fans laugh as Vin Diesel hints at developing a ‘GROOT’ movie

Vin Diesel is back in the internet headlines after the buzz broke out that he is developing a 'GROOT' movie, and let us just say fans had a field day delivering humorous digs at the news.

The actor's name has been associated with ambitious jumps be that in terms of his project choices or his cool stunts in Fast and Furious movies. The latest addition comes at a time when the internet is buzzing with Marvel superhero movie updates.

A social media user thoughtfully noted (via @offlThangaraj/X):

"I am Groot."

Groot is a beloved character who loves to introduce himself all the time. The more he says "I am Groot," the more joy it brings to the comic fans who love to live on high doses of entertainment.

Recently, Marvel has been experimenting with much of what it is usually known to offer. Starting from the much buzzed Marvel X DC crossover to the latest Daredevil Born Again (both the projects lends its main characters to Marvel comics, and somewhere up above, Stan Lee must be smiling).

Coming to the celebrity at hand, Vin Diesel has won many hearts online with his quirky off-screen antics and social media posts. Contrary to his Fast and Furious persona, he will be now focusing on a cute little tree friend who literally made Captain America say "I am Steve Rogers" in the Avengers: Infinity War, literally amidst a life-or-death fight with Thanos and his army.

Now, netizens have posted comments highlighting the fandom of this much-celebrated internet persona and much-loved comic character. Grab your bag of popcorn or heat up your fries because funny comments are coming right ahead:

Who is GROOT?

For the uninitiated, GROOT is an extra-terrestrial tree-like creature who utters a staple dialogue of "I AM GROOT" and holds the superhuman capabilities of absorbing wood from wood (much like the trees we know who literally absorb the air we exhale), and he can regenerate.

More on Groot when Vin Diesel completes his project!
