With comic book flicks like "Iron Man" and "The Dark Knight" dominating the box office like never before, it stands to reason that Vin Diesel is smiling. Action stars may come and go, after all, but how many actors can talk comics, games and "Dungeons & Dragons" with the knowledge and enthusiasm of Diesel?
It's no surprise then that this week finds him in sci-fi territory again, with the release of "Babylon A.D." Diesel stars as Toorop, a mercenary tasked with escorting a mysterious woman named Aurora (Mйlanie Thierry) from Eastern Europe to New York. Diesel sat down with MTV to talk up his latest film, speculate about when we'll see Riddick don his shades again and discuss why, after many close calls, we won't see him playing a superhero.
