For a long time, it appeared that the relationship between wrestling legend Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Vin Diesel was fractured beyond repair, no matter how many olive branches Diesel extended for Johnson to return to the “Fast” franchise. But time heals all wounds, and Johnson confirmed the current worst-kept secret in Hollywood.
“Luke Hobbs will be returning to the Fast & Furious franchise,” Johnson said. “Your reactions around the world to Hobbs’ return in Fast X have blown us away. The next Fast & Furious film you’ll see the legendary lawman in will be the HOBBS movie that will serve as a fresh, new chapter & set up for FASTX: Part II.”
The former WWE Champion noted the relationship between him and Diesel had been repaired last summer, allowing for Johnson to return to his role of Luke Hobbs in a post-credits scene for “Fast X.” It was Johnson’s first appearance in the role since spinoff “Hobbs and Shaw” released in 2019; he had previously starred in “Fast Five,” “Fast & Furious 6,” “Furious 7,” and “The Fate of the Furious.”
Though they shared no scenes, Johnson’s “Fast X” appearance also reunited him with John Cena, who he famously wrestled at WrestleMania 28 and WrestleMania 29, respectively.
