Larson also thankedVin Dieselfor inviting her to his daughter’s birthday party and making her feel included. After all, she was joining the series in its 10th film. In return, the Marvel actress did something special for him. She said:
“We had this great conversation and I ended up going to their house many times, even going to his eldest daughter’s birthday party so I got to become close with them.

It remains to be seen if it can live up to these predictions or not.
