Friendships can form in what we may seem to think are the most unlikely of places. Though neither actor has a 2025 movie on the books, Michael Caine and Vin Diesel have been making headlines thanks to Caine’s recent anecdote about such a pairing. Now it’s the Fast Saga star’s turn to return the favor, as he shared a glowing message on social media celebrating his pal, and the film they made together.
Vin Diesel Is Grateful For Michael Caine, And The Last Witch Hunter’s Apparent Renaissance
Apparently Netflix subscription holders must be flocking to 2015’s The Last Witch Hunter, as fantasy action thriller seems to be picking up an audience. That’s what it sounds like in Vin Diesel’s message to his dear friend and co-star, which started off with these select comments:
Fast X: Part 2’s cast any time soon.
At the same time, I’d like to think that this new picture will be about their personal friendship; especially since the men are lending their true names to the title. That hope only intensified after reading Diesel’s new contribution to the story of how the two met.
Michael Caine’s Friendship With Vin Diesel Couldn’t Have Started At A Better Time
Not many people know this, but one dinner party saw Michael Caine becoming a bit of a fixture in Vin Diesel’s life. Previously we saw that story told before through Caine’s latest memoir, Don’t Look Back: You’ll Trip Over: My Guide to Life. Now we can see why this camaraderie was so important to the Riddick franchise driver, as Diesel provided these additional details:
Any sort of loss in life is painful, and having the right people to walk you through it is key. Much as any of us could cite a handful of friends that helped us in the darkest of hours, Vin Diesel is sharing the love by filling in the story of how he and Michael Caine became as close as they are now.
While we’ll have to wait and see what happens with Mark and Maurice, you can currently stream The Last Witch Hunter through Netflix and other platforms. Who knows, maybe Vin Diesel’s promised sequel could take shape after all?
