Dwayne Johnson will resume his role of Luke Hobbs in the Fast & Furious Saga spin-off
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Dwayne Johnson will resume his role of Luke Hobbs in the Fast & Furious Saga spin-off. We have learned of the existence of a new project which will take the form of a parallel film (spin-off) taking place between the events of Fast & Furious X and the next Fast & Furious 11. Is Dwayne Johnson’s return surprising?
The Tension Between Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel
Nothing is less sure. Indeed, without spoiler for those who have not seen Fast & Furious X, the actor appears in a scene post-generic. Something that surprised everyone fans especially since the actor had assured that he would never set foot on a set of Fast & Furious. And finally…
To come back to this estrangement between Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel, we have to go back to Fast & Furious 8. In full production of the film, the two actors began to send insults by interposed media – or rather by interposed social networks.
The virulent exchanges became so intense that the two actors found it impossible to work together again. It was Dwayne Johnson who started the hostilities that surprised everyone:
“My female co-stars are always amazing and I love ’em. My male co-stars however are a different story. Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others don’t. The ones that don’t are too chicken s**t to do anything about it anyway. Candy a**es.”
Rumors about these tensions have been fueled for weeks and the media TMZ has confirmed that the two actors did not support the filming of Fast & Furious 8. Some considered that the affair was all a means of promotion, but it looks like the falling out was real.
Will the Spin-Off Reconcile the Two Actors?
If the years have passed, and if the hatchet seems a little buried, we will have to see if this spin-off reconciles the two actors. Vin Diesel has always considered it historic at this saga And on can understand that he didn’t appreciate someone else stealing the show. As always in these moments, it’s mostly a story of egos, but if Dwayne Johnson does son return is that part of the journey has been accomplished. To be continued in the next episode!
