But when it comes to the films that he has been passionate about, there are a few, apart from the obvious ones, that he enjoyed contributing to, one of which was the 1999 animated filmThe Iron Giant.In fact, he even teased us about a sequel of the film that was in the works at WB which would be released soon. Alas, that comment was made eight years ago.

Racing souped-up American muscle cars and preaching about the bonds of family in the film industry has what’s been the whole identity ofVin Dieselthese past couple of years. This is only the surface though, as before he began his journey down the quarter mile, he was known for being a very diversified actor.

The best example of this is his role as the titular protagonist ofThe Iron Giant. He liked that role so much that he wanted to be part of a sequel to the film, which unfortunately may never happen.

After Warner Bros. released a trailer for the remastered Blu-Ray version of the aforementioned film all the way back in 2015, theGuardians of The Galaxystar took to his Facebook page and uploaded it as well, talking about how it was an honor being part of such an amazing and impressive film in the past.

Here, he also advised in the caption that people should not be surprised when the company announces the existence of another installment down the road.

Despite this caption being written to give a heads-up to the audience for the near future, it has been almost eight years since then, and still, there’s not even a peep about any sequel of the film anywhere. This has led many to believe that the hinted sequel may never happen.
