Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson took to Instagram to announce his reconciliation with Vin Diesel and his highly-anticipated return to the "Fast & Furious" franchise.
A Heartfelt Thank You. Johnson seemingly let go of any remaining grudges after the success of Hobbs & Shaw. In an Instagram video shared in September 2019, he specifically thanked Diesel for his support of the spinoff.
Putting his past conflicts with Diesel to rest, he said: “Despite us having our differences, me and Vin, we've been like brothers for years, and despite our differences, when you lead with — number one, resolve — but also you think about the future and plans that are much bigger than ourselves.”
Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel's longstanding “Fast & Furious” feud came to an official end last year when Johnson shocked fans by popping up as the beloved Luke Hobbs in a “Fast X” mid-credits scene.
The Entire Dwayne Johnson And Vin Diesel Feud Timeline Explained
Who is Vin Diesel in love with?
As one of the world's biggest action stars, Vin Diesel has become a household name and his partner, Paloma Jiménez, has been by his side through it all.
Following a social media spat between Diesel and Johnson, Johnson vowed in 2021 that there was "no chance" of him returning to star in a Fast & Furious movie -- with plans instead to spin off his and Jason Statham's characters in a series of Hobbs & Shaw films.
Fast & Furious 11 will conclude the central story's timeline in the franchise. Spin-offs and stand-alone projects will continue the series without Diesel. The finale is set to release on April 4, 2025, providing fans time to say goodbye.
Kevin Hart has been known to collaborate with fellow actor Dwayne Johnson in comedic films. In an episode of Smartless, Hart explains the hilarious dynamic between the two of them and why it works so well. Learn more about Dwayne and Kevin Hart's friendship that transcends comedy films.
Following the success of Fast Five, Lin and his production company Barnstorm Pictures signed a two-year first-look deal with Universal Pictures, the company that owns the Fast and Furious franchise. Lin continued with its sixth installment, Fast & Furious 6.
However, that, in part, may be due to a strange clause he has implemented into his film contracts. In the Fast & Furious nine-film franchise, you might have noticed that fight scenes are a common occurrence, but none of the films' main stars, including Johnson, ever lost those fights.
His journey from the wrestling ring to the big screen, coupled with smart business ventures, has amassed him a substantial net worth that some estimate to be $800 million as of 2024 (other reports put it closer to $300 million). Either way, it's a far cry from the $40 per wrestling match of The Rock's early career!
Yes, Paul Walker will be returning as Brian in Fast X. The news was confirmed earlier this year by Fast and Furious 10 director Louis Leterrier. Lead actor Vin Diesel has also spoken about how the franchise would never end without a goodbye to the late actor.
Speaking to TotalFilm about his approach in the upcoming sequel, director Louis Leterrier said: "Well, Brian is very much alive in the world of Fast and Furious, and they've teased him a lot in the previous movies.
Who didn't get along in the Fast and Furious movies?
With The Fate of the Furious finally released, one thing became clear quickly — Johnson and Diesel didn't film a single scene together throughout the entire film. Johnson confirmed this fact in a cover story (via Rolling Stone), where he touched on his feud with Vin Diesel.
Diesel also revealed that Fast & Furious 11 would release in April 2025, but Gibson's latest update points to a potential delay. During an interview with CBR, the actor, who plays Roman Pierce in the franchise, explained that production on Fast & Furious 11 will begin next year.
Gisele's return was revealed during an underwater sequence aboard a submarine in Antarctica, setting the stage for the continuation of her story in Fast & Furious 11.
Vin Diesel never goes a day without cherishing his best friend fondly. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker were close friends, and when the actor passed away, it devastated Diesel. Losing his best friend forever tore him apart.
Vin Diesel is setting the record straight about his twin brother Paul. "The Last Witch Hunter" star, born Mark Sinclair Vincent, has a fraternal twin brother named Paul Vincent.
Who is Vin Diesel married to? The Hollywood hunk has never been married… at least, not that we know of. He's believed to be domestic partners with Jimenez, but he's never, shall we say, put a ring on it. And although they were first linked to one another publicly sometime in 2007, it's unclear how they first met.
Family really is forever. Vin Diesel paid tribute to the late Paul Walker (his brother "for eternity") on Instagram this week, honoring what would have been the actor's 50th birthday.
