Wheelman Is The Vin Diesel Action Movie Franchise That Wasn't
Wheelman was once tipped to be a major new action movie franchise for Vin Diesel, but here's why it never came to be. Diesel has had an odd relationship with franchises, famously exiting 2 Fast 2 Furious because was concerned an inferior sequel could hurt the original's chances of becoming an "American classic." He later declined to return as Xander Cage for the 2005 sequel State Of The Union for the same reason, though he did reprise the titular convict for 2004's The Chronicles Of Riddick. His no-sequel policy did lead to a few lean years in the mid-2000s, however.
