Vin Diesel Says He’s Developing Groot Film ‘The Arbor King’ About Return to Planet X

Marvel has not confirmed the project, so details beyond Diesel’s Instagram post remain unverified.

Overview

  • Diesel wrote that he is deep in development and writing, saying he read The Arbor King to his family as the long‑awaited story of Groot’s return to Planet X.
  • The Instagram post included key art showing an unfamiliar version of Groot beside what looks like an older Hulk, though its direct relevance to the plot is unclear.
  • If greenlit, the project would be the first MCU feature centered on Groot, with some coverage speculating it could alternatively be a Special Presentation.
  • Reporting ties the tease to comics such as Infinity Countdown and the 2023 Groot prequel, suggesting—speculatively—elements like the Gardener and potential appearances by Rocket and Star‑Lord.
  • Diesel has voiced Groot across six MCU films and multiple Disney+ projects, reinforcing his close creative association with the character.
