Jason Mamoa Will Replace Dwayne Johnson in Fast and Furious Franchise

Dwayne clearly mentioned that there was “no chance” that he’ll come back to the franchise and even called his co-star Vin Diesel ‘manipulative’.

Dwayne Johnson had been a part of the Fast and the Furious franchise as Luke Hobbs for a while. He was expected to make a return to the upcoming movie, Fast X, however, that would not be the case now. Due to his feud with Vin Diesel, he has made it very clear that the fans will not be seeing Johnson again in Fast and Furious’s tenth installment.

The actor who is said to be taking up the now-open spot is none other than Jason Momoa. The actor was also a part of the DCU and was a member of the Justice League. Playing ‘Aquaman’ and already getting ready for its sequel’s release.

In recent media reports, this news has been confirmed. An insider gave a scoop as reported by The Sun,

There is no movement right now on getting Dwayne back in these movies. That bridge is still burned and the casting of Jason Momoa in Fast X is meant to fill the void that has been left by Dwayne in the previous movie.

The close source to the whole development revealed Vin Diesel’s perspective about bringing Dwayne Johnson back.

It shared, “Vin isn’t looking in the rearview mirror on this issue, he’s thinking about the future and right now, the future doesn’t include a reconciliation with Dwayne. In fact, Vin is intent on topping the box office of all the movies that included Dwayne with Fast X, and the studio is supporting him. Nobody is telling Vin to stuff his pride and make nice with Dwayne. Vin’s vision for these movies is being supported in full, end of the story.”

Before this announcement, Dwayne aka The Rock shared that he has taken an exit as Black Adam, as the DC Studios revealed that there will be no further venture from the franchise. Dwayne’s last release Black Adam under the DC Universe was a massive flop at the box office.
