Dwayne Johnson has finally spoken out about his return to the Fast and Furious franchise in the upcoming movie, and has also addressed his long-standing feud with co-star Vin Diesel. The movie, which was released in May, sets the stage for the franchise's final chapter with Jason Momoa's character seeking revenge against Dom and his family for their involvement in his father's death. The Fast X finale features multiple cliffhangers and surprise appearances, including Gal Gadot's return as Gisele and a post-credits scene featuring Johnson's character Luke Hobbs, who was revealed to be the one responsible for executing Hernan Reyes in Fast Five. Johnson took to Twitter to announce the upcoming Fast and Furious movie and to put to rest his differences with Diesel, which led to his departure from the franchise after The Fate of the Furious.
Is Dwayne Johnson & Vin Diesel's Fast & Furious Feud Finally Over?
Johnson has exciting news for Fast and Furious fans: he will be reprising his role as Hobbs in an upcoming film that will bridge the gap between Fast X and Fast X: Part II. Set to release in 2025, fans will finally get to see what happens next in the franchise. Johnson also revealed that he was pleasantly surprised by the positive reactions to his character's return in Fast X and even more thrilled to announce that he and Diesel have put their past feud behind them. Fans can look forward to seeing both actors back on screen together in the future.
With Johnson returning as Hobbs in Fast X, it had seemed that his long-standing feud with Diesel had finally come to an end. Following the movie's release, Diesel was the first to speak out about Johnson's unexpected return as Hobbs, but he avoided discussing their past conflict during the filming of previous Fast and Furious movies. However, Johnson's recent announcement leaves no room for doubt - he and Diesel have put their feud firmly behind them.
The public feud between The Rock and Diesel first came to light in 2016, after the former shared an Instagram post that has since been deleted. In the post, he referred to unnamed members of the Fast and Furious cast as "candy asses." Many speculated that he was targeting Diesel, and this was further supported by Michelle Rodriguez's comments about tension on set and Tyrese Gibson's accusations that Johnson was trying to make the franchise all about himself. Despite whatever may have happened behind the scenes, it seems that Johnson and Diesel have set aside their differences for the sake of the franchise. Fast X is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting future for the series.
