Attention: This article contains spoilers from Fast X. Dwayne Johnson finally opens up about his comeback in Fast X and discusses the resolution of his feud with Vin Diesel. The latest Fast and Furious film, released on May 19, sets the stage for the franchise's ultimate climax, with Jason Momoa's Dante Reyes seeking revenge against Dom and his family for their involvement in his father's demise. Fast X concludes with intriguing cliffhangers and surprising appearances, including Gal Gadot reprising her role as Gisele and a post-credits scene featuring Johnson as Luke Hobbs, the character responsible for executing Hernan Reyes in Fast Five.
In a lengthy Twitter post unveiling a new Fast and Furious spinoff centered on Hobbs, Dwayne Johnson finally breaks his silence on his return in Fast X and the resolution of his feud with Diesel, which led to his departure from the franchise after The Fate of the Furious. Johnson announces a fresh Fast and Furious film that will bring back Hobbs and bridge the gap between Fast X and Fast X: Part II, slated for release in 2025. The actor expresses his astonishment at the overwhelmingly positive response to his character's comeback in Fast X and confirms that he and Diesel have moved past their past differences. Read the exact quote and original tweet below:
Has the Feud Between Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel in Fast & Furious Finally Come to an End? Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson face off in Fast Five.
The mere fact that Johnson reprised his role as Hobbs in Fast X strongly suggests that his years-long conflict with Diesel has finally been resolved. Shortly after the film's release, Diesel broke his silence on Johnson's unexpected return as Hobbs. The actor behind Dom subtly avoided addressing their past feud during the filming of previous Fast and Furious movies and refrained from explicitly mentioning it. However, in Johnson's recent announcement, he unequivocally declares that he and Diesel have firmly left their past feud in the rearview mirror.
The Rock and Diesel's feud became public in 2016 when the former posted, and later deleted, an Instagram message referring to unnamed cast members of the Fast and Furious franchise as "candy asses." It was widely speculated that he was targeting Diesel, a claim supported by Michelle Rodriguez, who confirmed tension between the two on set, and Tyrese Gibson, who accused Johnson of making the franchise all about himself. Whatever may have transpired behind the scenes, it seems Johnson and Diesel have put their differences aside for the greater good of the franchise. Fast X is just the beginning of what lies ahead.
