Thanks to his Fast & Furious franchise, Vin Diesel is one of the most well-known actors in the world. The ninth installment of the series, F9, was released this year, and the Fast films are becoming increasingly extravagant as the years pass. According to rumors, the franchise’s final films will likewise take place in space, similar to F9.

Diesel is also known for his part in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. Vin Diesel voices the child Groot in the film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

Saying “I am Groot” was arguably the easiest paycheck of his career for F9 star Vin Diesel, who portrays the fan-favorite creature. It’s hard to imagine he was given money in exchange for repeating three words in a variety of ways, but he was.

According to estimates, he was paid a staggering $54.5 million, which equates to a cool $13 million for each film in which Groot has appeared.

Groot has been voiced by Diesel in four Marvel films: Guardians of the Galaxy, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame, but he hasn’t always played exactly the same role. He’s portrayed the character in different ways. He played an adult Groot in the original GOTG, who gave his life to save the Guardians by enclosing them in an enclosure made of his own body. That Groot left behind a branch, which grew into Baby Groot at the end of the movie.

Vin Diesel is also expected to earn approximately $67 million for his role as Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Disney made the payments made to Avengers characters, including Vin Diesel, public. Many stories detail the salaries of actors, such as Robert Downey Jr., who supposedly received $ 50 million for two Avengers films.

Other notable actors in the Avengers: Infinity War include Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Tom Holland, and more.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is expected to be the series’ final film, and the final time we see our beloved motley group of space outlaws. Some cast members, including as Dave Bautista, have already stated that this will be their final appearance in the MCU, while Diesel has yet to state whether or not he wants to reprise his role as Groot beyond GOTG Vol. 3.

Meanwhile, James Gunn, the film’s director, has hinted that someone in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 may die. When asked if “someone will die in GotG3?” during an Instagram question and answer session, Gunn answered “Yes.”
