Dwayne Johnsonopenly discussed his feud with Vin Diesel in a new interview, wishing his co-star the best before ‘erasing’ the “no ill will” part at the end of his statement, dinging hisFast and Furiousco-star in a means to have the last word. Johnson reveals that the two have clarity, “whether we work together again or not,” leading many to believe that the actor is finished with the mainFast and Furiousfranchise. Dwayne Johnson is still working on theHobbs and Shawspin-off movie with Jason Statham, which is slated to begin production this fall.
Vin Dieseland Dwayne Johnson had a very public feud over the last year, but it appears that it is now over, according to Johnson. Tensions were reportedly so bad between the two that they wouldn’t even film scenes together duringThe Fate of the Furious. As it turns out, the two action mega stars have a different way of approaching their projects. And ultimately, that means The Rock might not return inFast & Furious 9, especially with his solo movie on the way. Johnson explains.
“Vin (Diesel) and I had a few discussions, including an important face-to-face in my trailer. And what I came to realize is that we have a fundamental difference in philosophies on how we approach moviemaking and collaborating.”
After their discussions and the benefit of time passing, Dwayne Johnson states that there is no longer a feud between himself and Vin Diesel. But, that doesn’t mean everything is all good either. While things have been smoothed out, Johnson is unsure if they’ll ever work together again, leading many to speculate that Johnson might not return to theFast and Furiousfranchise, instead focusing solely on theFast and Furious Spin-Off. He had this to say.
“It took me some time, but I’m grateful for that clarity. Whether we work together again or not. But I wish him all the best, and I harbor no ill will there, just because of the clarity we have. (laughs) Actually, you may erase that last part about no ill will. We’ll just keep it with the clarity.”
TheFast and Furiousfranchise would suffer a huge blow if Dwayne Johnson decides not to return. The actor is clearly focused on getting theHobbs and Shawspin-off to be the best movie that it can be and is looking forward to working with Jason Statham again. But as far as a return to the properFast and Furiousfranchise, it’s not clear if Johnson will return at this time. This could all just be a clever marketing ploy for the immensely popular movie series. Dwayne Johnson previously noted that the tracking for the last movie went through the roof after his feud with Vin Diesel became public.
