Does Vin Diesel Want to Play Vision in Avengers 2?

What happens when a movie star updates their profile pic with a Marvel character? Fanboy speculation kicks into overdrive!

Bleeding Cool points out that Vin Diesel recently changed his Facebook profile pic to an image of the Marvel character Vision, the android Avenger. Since Diesel uses his Facebook page primarily to pimp out his many projects (such as the forthcoming threequel Riddick) tongues are now a-wagging that maybe the xXx and Fast and the Furious star is dropping some hints that he is either A) Up for the role or has been cast as Vision in The Avengers 2, B) Wants to play the character in the movie and is essentially baiting fans into creating a buzz campaign to get Marvel to consider him for it, or C) is just pranking his fans.

It should be noted that Diesel's already switched his profile pic from Vision to something far less fanboy-baiting. Let's just say for the sake of discussion that Diesel might be up for the role: What would you think of Vin Diesel playing Vision in Avengers 2? Sound off in the Comments below!

Rockstar Updates Old GTA San Andreas Site

An old viral website for GTA: San Andreas has been updated by Rockstar, leading to speculation that viral marketing for GTA V could be about to begin.

The Epsilon program site has been live since GTA: San Andreas launched back in 2004, but hasn't seen any updates in years. Checking the site today reveals the same promises of power for money it's always had, alongside a Twitter feed that wasn't there before July 24.

Only two tweets have been sent so far, one on July 25 and the other on July 30. The first reads "We as a people have consistently got things backwards. #KIFFLOM", while the second says "Seeking without paying is not living, it is living on the cheap. #KIFFLOM".

Checking out the other viral sites registered back when San Andreas released shows that none of them have been updated, though www.westcoastraplegends.com now sends you straight through to Rockstar's main site.

Despite Take Two yesterday refusing to be drawn on a release date for the game, they did say that "substantial progress" was being made. If the marketing machine is starting to fire up, then hopefully we won't have too long to go before more concrete launch details appear.

Thanks, OPM.
