‘We’ll lead with brotherhood’: Dwayne Johnson will return as Luke Hobbs in new Fast and Furious film

In the post-credits scene from Fast X, Dwayne Johnson’s return as Luke Hobbs in the Fast & Furious series astounded fans and audience. This is because, following his long dispute with Vin Diesel, Johnson stated in 2021 that he would never return to the Fast series.

Dwayne Johnson has officially stated that he will reprise his role as Hobbs in the forthcoming Fast & Furious film, FASTX: Part II. Fast 11 is anticipated to be released in 2025, but no official date has been set.

Vin and I put all the past behind us. We’ll lead with brotherhood and resolve – and always take care of the franchise, characters & FANS that we love.”
