Dwayne Johnson refuses to return to 'Fast & Furious' after the invitation of Vin Diesel: "It is an example of his manipulation"
Dwayne Johnson did not like Vin Diesel's public invitation, nor that he mentioned the death of Paul Walker.
There will be no family reunion at the climax of the Fast & Furious saga. At least, in regards to Dwayne Johnson's reincorporation to the next films, as Vin Diesel proposed to him last November in a post sense where he called him "my little brother Dwayne" and stated that "no one else can bring Hobbs to life. "
Johnson has spoken publicly and is not happy. The actor not only refuses to return to Fast & Furious, but in a recent interview with CNN he has harshly criticized Diesel's behavior. "I told him directly that I was not going to return to the saga. I was firm but cordial with my words and assured him that I would always support the cast and wish the success of the franchise, but that there was no possibility that I would return," he explains .
"Vin's recent public post is an example of his manipulation," continues the actor. "I did not like that he brought his children into this, or the death of Paul Walker. Leave them out of this. We talked about this both months ago and we reached a very clear agreement."
First of all, Johnson does not want to make clear his support for the Fast & Furious saga, even from the outside. "My goal has always been to gratefully end this fantastic journey in such an incredible saga," he says. "It's a shame that this public dialogue has muddied the waters. However, I trust the Fast & Furious universe and its ability to satisfy audiences. I truly wish my former colleagues and team members all the luck in the world and success with the next installment. "
Dwayne Johnson in 'Fast & Furious'
The incorporation of Dwayne Johnson to the saga of motorsport produced by Vin Diesel took place in Fast & Furious 5 (2011), a film that is often taken as a turning point in the growth of the franchise to disproportionate dimensions. There, Johnson broke in with force playing Agent Luke Hobbs of the Diplomatic Security Service, whose objective was to hunt down Dominic Toretto and his people.
After a legendary hand-to-hand confrontation against Toretto, Hobbs went on to take on the role of friend in his subsequent interventions in the saga, moving away from his antagonist status to go on to collaborate with the protagonists in the next three Fast & Furious 6 (2013). ), Fast & Furious 7 (2018) and Fast & Furious 8 (2017).
It was then when, after a public disagreement with Vin Diesel due to disagreements during the filming of the seventh installment, Johnson's path separated from the mainstream of the franchise and went on to star in a spin-off of his character with Jason Statham in Hobbs & Shaw (2019). Although the film grossed $ 760 million worldwide, the possibility of a sequel has not been heard of.
