In a shocking turn of events, it has been revealed that Dwayne Johnson will be returning to the Fast And Furious franchise. The actor, who played Luke Hobbs in the first seven films of the series, had previously said that he would not be returning due to creative differences with Vin Diesel.

However, Johnson has reportedly now changed his mind, and will be making a cameo appearance in the upcoming film, Fast X. It’s being reported by The Wrap that actor will reportedly appear in the film’s post-credits scene, setting up the possibility of a future Hobbs & Shaw sequel.

Johnson’s return to the Fast & Furious franchise is sure to be a major talking point among fans. The actor is one of the biggest stars in the world, and his presence in the film is sure to boost its box office potential.

It is also unclear what role Johnson will play in the film. It is possible that he will simply make a cameo appearance, or that he could have a more significant role in the film’s plot. Only time will tell what the future holds for Luke Hobbs in the Fast & Furious franchise.
