Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson makes a return as Agent Luke Hobbs, despite his previous announcement that he would no longer be part of the racing movies due to tension with Vin Diesel. The two actors had a public falling out, and their characters did not share any scenes in the previous Fast and the Furious films. Johnson, a former pro wrestler, did not appear in 2021’s F9 either.
In 2021, Diesel publicly invited Johnson to return for the final installments of the franchise, expressing his desire to fulfill his promise to their late co-star, Paul Walker. Diesel referred to Johnson as “Uncle Dwayne” and emphasized the importance of his role in the upcoming films. However, Johnson declined the offer, stating that he had already made it clear months prior that he would not be returning.
Johnson expressed his surprise that Diesel brought up his children and Walker’s death in the public invitation, stating that it felt manipulative. He had privately informed Diesel in June that he would not be returning to the franchise but assured his support for the cast and the franchise’s success.
The tension between Diesel and Johnson dates back to 2016 when Johnson posted a now-deleted Instagram message hinting at conflicts with some individuals on set who did not conduct themselves as professionals. Although no names were mentioned, rumors circulated that the comments were directed at Diesel.
Despite their differences, fans will now witness Johnson’s return as Agent Hobbs in Fast X, marking a surprising twist in the franchise. The film, which hit theaters on May 19, presents the crew with one of their biggest challenges yet. Audiences will have to watch until the end for the post-credit scene featuring Johnson’s reappearance.
