TheWrap.com is reporting that Dwayne
“The Rock” Johnson has returned to the
Fast and Furious franchise and makes a
cameo appearance in the post-credits
scene of the Fast X movie which comes
out next week.
Johnson was adamant that he would not be
returning to the franchise after several
behind-the-scenes issues with leading
star Vin Diesel.
In late 2021, Diesel put Johnson on the
spot and begged him in a video on
Instagram to set aside their differences
and return to the franchise to finish
the story for Paul Walker. The video did
not go over well with Johnson, a video
which he called “manipulative” in an
interview with CNN.
“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,” Johnson told CNN at the
time.
Johnson joined the series as Luke Hobbs
in Fast Five and after a few more
movies, he launched his spinoff Hobbs &
Shaw, but so far only one movie was
made.
Fellow former WWE champion John Cena is
also part of the franchise and is
featured in the latest Fast X
installment again following his debut in
the previous movie.
