Dwayne Johnson To Appear in the Fast & Furious Sequel
Fans of Fast and Furious are thrilled to discover that Dwayne will be returning after two years. As disclosed by The Wrap, the superstar actor will be making an appearance on the secret post-credit scene for Fast X.
The actor played the character of Luke Hobbs in the franchise and has also won the heart of fans. But in 2021, the actor publicly announced his departure from the franchise on his social media handle. Reports indicate that his exit from the movie franchise was because of his feud with Van Diesel in 2016.
Allegedly, he called his male Co stars out for their lack of professionalism identifying them as “candy a**es,”.
He further said “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 sh*t to do anything about it anyway. Candy asses,” He uploaded on Instagram “When you watch this movie next April, and it seems like I’m not acting in some of these scenes, and my blood is legit boiling ― you’re right.”
However, in 2021, Vin Diesel publicly apologized to his colleague.
He posted “The world awaits the finale of Fast 10. As you know, my children refer to you as Uncle Dwayne in my house. There is not a holiday that goes by that they and you don’t send well wishes… but the time has come. Legacy awaits. I told you years ago that I was going to fulfil my promise to Pablo. I swore that we would reach and manifest the best Fast in the finale that is 10! I say this out of love… but you must show up, do not leave the franchise idle, you have a very important role to play. Hobbs can’t be played by anyone else. I hope that you rise to the occasion and fulfill your destiny.”
Dwayne however, called Diesel out for being manipulative. He further explained why he would not be returning to the franchise on CNN.
In response to Diesel’s “manipulation,” Johnson sat with CNN in December 2021 and explained why he wasn’t returning to the franchise. He said, “I told [Diesel] directly that I would not be returning to the franchise,” “
Dwayne further explains, “Vin’s recent public post was an example of his manipulation. I didn’t like that he brought up his children in the post, as well as Paul Walker’s death. Leave them out of it. We had spoken months ago about this and came to a clear understanding.”
Regardless, Fans are eager to watch the HFast X when it hits theatres on May 19.
