Vin Diesel Says He Won’t Delay His Films Despite Coronavirus Threat

“We need movies now more than ever.”

The recent coronavirus epidemic has got everybody on edge. People are worried about the possibility of getting infected due to the disease’s unpredictable nature. Offices and schools have shut down in some places, and even film producers are nervous about premiering new films to cinemas worldwide. However, Vin Diesel has no plans to delay his upcoming films from the Fast and Furious franchise as well as Bloodshot.

Recently, one of the most anticipated films of the year James Bond: No Time To Die was delayed be released somewhere in November instead of April, which has been a bummer for movie-goers.

But Vin Diesel fans have nothing to worry about because in a recent interview with USA Today, the action superstar assured fans that release of the upcoming F9 film and Bloodshot will be released as scheduled.

When asked about a possible delay, Vin Diesel referred to the military background of his character from the upcoming film Bloodshot. He said,

“Let me put it to you this way: Bloodshot at the end of the day is a soldier and a soldier doesn’t decide or pick when or where he’s deployed. We’re going to go in. We need movies now more than ever. We’re already in a very interesting time where cinema and the cinematic experience is so threatened. So, yes, put it on record we’re going to show up,” he said.
