Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel have had a lot of trouble in the past few years. Things had gotten so bad eventually that the Hercules actor announced that he would not be returning to the Fast & Furious franchise after filming for The Fate of the Furious. However, Johnson was still looking forward to making a sequel to the franchise’s spinoff, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.
Dwayne Johnson once revealed that he allegedly even had an idea for the sequel and the writers also loved it.
Dwayne Johnson’s interesting plot for the sequel of Hobbs & Shaw
Dwayne Johnson has got some interesting ideas for a sequel of Hobbs & Shaw. Back in 2021, the actor once revealed in an interview that he wants the sequel of Hobbs & Shaw to have a much different storyline than those of the Fast & Furious movie. He said,
““So when it comes to Hobbs and Shaw, which we loved and loved making that movie, there’s an idea that I had that I called Donna Langley, called our writer Chris Morgan, our producer Hiram Garcia. And I said, ‘I have this idea and this direction for Hobbs.’ And I pitched it and they all loved it. It would be the antithesis of what Fast and Furious movies generally are in that they continue to go on and go on and go on, in this case, I still want to do the quintessential Hobbs movie.That, without giving it away, you watch a man walk off into the sunset.“
At the time it seemed like Dwayne Johnson was all set to say goodbye to the Fast & Furious franchise with the sequel of Hobbs & Shaw. However, the actor appeared in the mid-credits scene of Fast X to reprise his role as Agent Luke Hobbs once again.
The writers loved the Black Adam actor’s idea for Hobbs & Shaw’s sequel
Dwayne Johnson further revealed that the writers at Universal Studios loved the plot that he pitched for a sequel of Hobbs & Shaw. He said,
“Donna loved it and they’ve been wonderful partners at Universal, but I said, ’You know, we have an opportunity here, I think to go against the grain and let’s disrupt things a little bit, and let’s create a movie within the Fast and Furious world that is unexpected, that I think people will go, ‘Oh man, like, wow, thank you for that.’ So we’ll see.“
According to sources, the sequel of the Hobbs & Shaw movie can come out in early 2025 before the release of Fast 11 or it can also come out after the release of Fast 11 to connect the events leading up to Fast 12 in 2026.
Fast X is currently playing in theatres.
