Dwayne Johnson turns down Vin Diesel's invitation to rejoin 'Fast & Furious'

Los Angeles, Dec 30 (IANS) Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson has publicly declined 'Fast & Furious' series actor Vin Diesel's request to rejoin the action franchise for its upcoming 10th mainline entry. ## In November, Diesel extended an invitation to Johnson on Instagram, imploring the latter to reprise his role as secret agent Lucas Hobbs for the next entry in the series, reports variety.com. ## "The world awaits the finale of 'Fast 10'," Diesel wrote. ## He added: "As you know, my children refer to you as Uncle Dwayne in my house. There is not a holiday that goes by that they and you don't send well wishes but the time has come. Legacy awaits. I told you years ago that I was going to fulfill my promise to Pablo. I swore that we would reach and manifest the best Fast in the finale that is 10!" ## In a new interview with CNN, Johnson responded to the request, criticising Diesel for voicing an invite on social media after the two had already reached an agreement in private. ## "I told (Diesel) directly that I would not be returning to the franchise. I was firm yet cordial with my words and said that I would always be supportive of the cast and always root for the franchise to be successful, but that there was no chance I would return," Johnson explained. ## "Vin's recent public post was an example of his manipulation. I didn't like that he brought up his children in the post, as well as Paul Walker's death. Leave them out of it. We had spoken months ago about this and came to a clear understanding." ## However, Johnson went on to express his well wishes for the 'Fast & Furious' family ahead of their next, and ostensibly penultimate, outing. ## "My goal all along was to end my amazing journey with this incredible franchise with gratitude and grace," Johnson said. ## He added: "It's unfortunate that this public dialogue has muddied the waters. Regardless, I'm confident in the 'Fast' universe and its ability to consistently deliver for the audience. I truly wish my former co-stars and crew members the best of luck and success in the next chapter." ## Johnson joined the 'Fast & Furious' franchise with 2011's 'Fast Five'. ## At first, his Agent Hobbs is an antagonist to Diesel's Dominic Toretto, though Johnson's character later joins his family of physics-defying heroes. ## Johnson bowed out of the mainline series following his appearance in 2017's 'The Fate of the Furious', teaming up with Jason Statham to headline a spin-off, 2019's 'Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw'. ## Stay tuned.

Vin Diesel Requests Dwayne Johnson To Return For 'Fast And Furious' Finale

Los Angeles, November 10 - With the Fast & Furious film franchise is nearing its end, star and producer Vin Diesel has requested former Fast & Furious co-star Dwayne Johnson to come back for the two-part finale F10 that is in the works. ## In the recent Instagram post, Diesel openly sent a message to Johnson, hoping to put an end to his feud with Johnson, with whom he fell out while collaborating on The Fate of the Furious. In the post, Vin requested him to return to play Luke Hobbs and reunite with Dominic Toretto (played by Diesel in the Fast franchise).## "My little brother Dwayne… the time has come", Diesel wrote in the Instagram caption. "The world awaits the finale of Fast 10. As you know, my children refer to you as Uncle Dwayne in my house. There is not a holiday that goes by that they and you don't send well wishes… but the time has come. Legacy awaits. I told you years ago that I was going to fulfill my promise to Pablo [Paul Walker]".## "I swore that we would reach and manifest the best Fast in the finale that is 10! I say this out of love… but you must show up, do not leave the franchise idle you have a very important role to play. Hobbs can't be played by no other. I hope that you rise to the occasion and fulfill your destiny", he added.## While Johanson is yet to respond to Diesel publicly, director Justin Lin, who will be helming the final two parts of F10, too seemed hopeful of Hobbs and Toretto reuniting for the finale. In a conversation with Deadline in April, Lin had said, "I never really considered them gone, you know? To me, they're still in this universe, they're part of this family. Whatever we do, whenever we're talking about the next chapter, I never feel like I have any restrictions, so I'm excited for what we build, and as we're coming to this kind of final chapter of this saga, I think I'm excited to revisit... Any character, in any situation, is up for discussion". ## View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vin Diesel (@vindiesel) ## Stay tuned...
