According to the Guardians of The Galaxy star, the franchise has now become the longest-running franchise in Hollywood with the same actors from the start of the series all the way to 2001. This is a spectacular testament to the great work that it has done over the years in continuing the story without any form of major deviation of the story.
While he may be right on the money with this claim, many fans also recall there have been several subtractions from the original cast. While the tragic loss of Paul Walker was an unforeseen departure of his character from the series, the character of Matt Schulze and Rick Yune were also retired from the franchise. And not only that, but the departure of Dwayne Johnson also came as a big surprise after The Fate of the Furious. Still, with just a small number of characters from the good old days, the franchise was able to turn itself into the cinematic universe it is today.
