The Rock Announces His Return To ‘Fast & Furious’ Franchise

Universal Studios

The Rock has announced his return to the “Fast & Furious” franchise.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson joined the “Fast & Furious” franchise in the fifth installment of the series, playing the role of Luke Hobbs.

Starring in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth edition of the franchise, Johnson became a popular figure in the films and would later star in a spinoff movie titled, “Hobbs and Shaw.” The WWE legend had a very public falling out with “Fast & Furious” co-star Vin Diesel, which led to his departure from the franchise.

The “Fast X” film released in mid-May 2023. Universal Studios is now in the process of developing the eleventh movie in the series that will have Johnson reprising his role of Luke Hobbs.

On Thursday, June 1, The Rock took to Twitter to formally announce his return to the franchise. He wrote the following:

Hope you’ve got your funderwear on…

HOBBS IS BACK.
And he just got lei’d 

Luke Hobbs will be returning to the Fast & Furious franchise.

Your reactions around the world to Hobbs’ return in Fast X have blown us away 

The next Fast & Furious film you’ll see the legendary lawman in will be the HOBBS movie that will serve as a fresh, new chapter & set up for FASTX: Part II

Last summer 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.

I’ve built my career on an “ Audience First” mentality and that will always serve as my
North Star 

Congratulations to my Fast Family & Universal Studios on the global success of FAST X and as always, Hobbs &
@SevenBucksProd
are motivated to help take the Fast franchise to new and exciting places for fans worldwide.

“Daddy’s gotta go to work” ~ HOBBS
