The Hollywood star, who voices
talking tree Groot in Guardians, let the news slip during a Facebook Live video
on Friday.
Vin Diesel called the planned
Avengers mash-up "incredibly exciting".
Guardians also starred Chris
Pratt, Zoe Saldana and Bradley Cooper. Avengers: Infinity War is expected to
include Marvel characters from across 18 films.
The movie will be released in May
2018.
A spokeswoman for Disney did not
immediately respond to Diesel's comments.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is due in cinemas next
May, reuniting the original ensemble cast along with Michael Rooker, Glenn
Close and Karen Gillan.
Pom Klementieff joins the cast as
alien hero Mantis, along with Kurt Russell, Sylvester Stallone and Sharon
Stone.
When the film wrapped in June,
Pratt said: "This is going to be the greatest spectacle film of all
time."
The first film is one of Marvel's
most successful movies yet, making more than $771m (£540m) at the worldwide box
office.
