From administrators like Ron Howard and Olivia Wilde taking part in unhinged variations of themselves, to Charlize Theron’s “baller” cameo within the debut episode, The Studio featured a whole lot of main Hollywood skills in its first run. Nicely, there’s far more the place they got here from, as a result of following the Apple TV+ subscription-exclusive present’s run on the 2025 TV schedule, The Studio will return for Season 2. Earlier this month, co-creator, director, author and lead actor Seth Rogen expressed curiosity in having Quick & Livid star Vin Diesel seem within the subsequent season. I’m now hopeful that this might truly be pulled off when the sequence returns.
Seth Rogen And Vin Diesel Have Lastly Met
Rogen had beforehand stated that he’s by no means met the person who’s been taking part in Dominic Toretto for nicely over 20 years, however destiny intervened to rectify this. The 2 males crossed paths at an occasion involving Steven Spielberg’s mysterious 2026 film, and the Superbad alum snapped an image of them collectively to share on his Instagram account:
This put up doesn’t point out The Studio, however I’d wish to suppose the seed has been planted for what is going to ultimately blossom into Vin Diesel cameoing as himself. That’s assuming, after all, that Seth Rogen was in a position to deliver up the comedy sequence whereas talking with Diesel, however I discover it laborious to imagine he wouldn’t no less than point out it as soon as. You gotta shoot your shot, in spite of everything. And whereas he’s at present busy placing Quick 11 collectively, I think about Diesel has no less than heard of The Studio. If he has watched the present and finds it humorous, then that solely improves the possibilities of him showing in it.
What Seth Rogen Beforehand Stated About Vin Diesel
Seth Rogen first shared his need for Vin Diesel to look in The Studio whereas chatting with Jimmy Kimmel Dwell!’s title host. When Kimmel requested if there have been any individuals he had in thoughts for the Apple TV+ present’s subsequent season Rogen answered:
There’s a whole lot of actors I’d like to work with, and a few particularly who I believe their personas are humorous to discover. I believe Vin Diesel can be very humorous and enjoyable to work with. Largely ‘trigger if you concentrate on it, he’s solely in these Quick & Livid films… For most people’s lifetime who’re of their 20s now, he’s solely ever been Dom Toretto, ever. So to see him outdoors of Dom Toretto, to me, can be very thrilling.
When Jimmy Kimmel talked about that Vin Diesel is The Pacifier, Seth Rogen retorted that that film got here out “25 years in the past” (it was truly 20 years). For the sake of accuracy, I’ll remind everybody studying that the final 10 years has seen Diesel star in films like The Final Witch Hunter, XXX: Return of Xander Cage and Bloodshot. However Rogen’s total level stands, Diesel remains to be greatest recognized for anchoring the Quick & Livid franchise.
After happening a tangent with Kimmel about how the motion star’s actual identify isn’t truly Vin Diesel’s actual identify (it’s Mark Sinclair), Seth Rogen delivered an amusing plea on to the digicam:
Vincent, Vincenze Bartholomew Diesel. I assume you’re watching this each night time. I assume you’re watching it whereas driving like a ’65 Pontiac. When you would, please contemplate… I don’t know, possibly we will arrange a Zoom or one thing like that… And I’ll seize your baldness on a tough drive.
Nothing is assured simply but, however I’ll cross my fingers that Vin Diesel is among the names that’s introduced for The Studio Season 2. It will pair properly with studying when Quick 11, the ultimate movie within the franchise, will probably be launched. In the meantime, Platonic, Seth Rogen’s different Apple TV+ present, returns for its second season on August 6.
