When you hire Vin Diesel as your lead actor, you know you’re not just getting his gravelly line delivery and mesomorphic frame. You’re also getting a social media soldier ready to post pics and dangle tantalising hints about his projects on Facebook. He’s now released the very first image from his latest gig, The Last Witch Hunter, which you can see above.

The movie, which Breck Eisner is currently shooting, finds Diesel as an immortal warrior who finds himself in present-day New York having to face down a powerful witch queen intent on unleashing a terrible plague that could wipe out the human race.

His chief ally in the fight, however, is a female witch (Game Of Thrones’ Rose Leslie), who teams up with him to help take down the rising evil. German actress Julie Engelbrecht recently joined the film to play the main villain, with Elijah Wood, Michael Caine and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson already all aboard.

The Last Witch Hunter doesn’t have a set release date yet, but it should be out next year. Until then, we’re sure Diesel will keep the world informed about all the big news.
