Dwayne Johnson is back in the Fast Family and will once again star alongside Vin Diesel like in the good old days. Similar to the past, The Rock announced another spin-off to theFast & Furiousfranchise, similar to what he did in 2019 withHobbs & Shaw.
This time, however, Dwayne Johnson surprisingly accepted Vin Diesel’s condition while creating the spin-off that he did not do back in 2019. The spin-off will feature a showdown between Jason Momoa’s Dante Reyes and Johnson’s Hobbs but more importantly, it will be a bridge betweenFast Xand the upcomingFast 11.
Dwayne Johnson Accepted Vin Diesel’s Condition ForFast & FuriousSpin-off
After The Rock and Vin Diesel parted ways in 2017, the Fast Family was broken up, with actors choosing which side to join. Jason Statham went on to join Dwayne Johnson in the 2019 spin-off movieFast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw,which divided the actors all the more.

It was only recently reported that the feud between The Rock and Vin Diesel was put to rest. After that news, The Rock was quick to announce a spin-off in theFast & Furiousfranchise wherein it will be just him and Jason Momoa as Dante Reyes. TheJumanjiactor did agree on a certain condition put by Vin Diesel that the spin-off should be connected to the main universe.
This wasn’t the case when Jason Statham and theJungle Cruiseactor starred in the 2019 movie, as Idris Elba’s antagonistic character was in no way connected to the franchise at all. This seemed to hurt the cast of theFast & Furiousfranchise deeply. The Rock promised Vin Diesel that history won’t be repeated and that the spin-off will serve as the bridge between the recently releasedFast Xand the upcomingFast 11.
