A number of Fast and Furious followers have been shocked when it was introduced that Dwayne Johnson could be leaping again into the franchise, particularly after the very public beef he had with Vin Diesel, however they managed to place their variations apart and make one thing work.
Johnson is now set to star in one other spinoff movie that may bridge the hole between the occasions of Fast X and the Fast X sequel which is predicted in 2025. Johnson will seem within the sequel as properly, which is claimed to place an finish to the legacy franchise.
During a current interview with CB, Fast X director Louis Leterrier was requested about Johnson and Diesel’s reconciliation, and he stated:
“I just like the idea of them coming back together. What I realized – I’m like you, I was a fan reading – they’ve been talking all along. They were like text buddies wishing each other ‘Happy Birthday,’ ‘Merry Christmas.’ But being each in each other’s life … It’s more like, with these two characters work in the same universe, especially since Hobbs & Shaw was such a different tone. It was such a different departure from the original franchise … We collectively looked at each other and said, ‘Frankly, wouldn’t it be great? Not only for the franchise, but also for the fans and for you guys, for us just to get back on the same train together?’ And that’s a conversation that they had. I was lucky to be able to work with Dwayne that one day and possibly more looking forward.”
He went on to speak about being within the director’s chair for this franchise as a result of he grew up on these authentic movies as a fan. He stated:
“The thing about my reaching this position on this franchise is that I grew up as a fan … I’m the kid in the candy store and the owners have left, I’m like, ‘All right, here we go. Let’s go!’ … My wishes become reality, you know, if everybody agrees.”
Leterrier was then requested if he was nervous about serving as a referee between the 2 actors after they begin working collectively once more, and he stated:
“No, no, no, no, no, no, no. They’re really good. There’s no fight. Honestly, this set is so lovely, so fun, so enjoyable. … I’m not giving you lip service. I really had a great time. Like I was nervous. I was nervous, you know, I walked in, I was nervous, but everybody works so hard and wants the best for these franchises. Yeah. No, it’s really about forward momentum and we have it.”
I simply hope the subsequent couple of movies carry the franchise to an finish in a robust approach, as a result of the final couple of flicks have been disappointing. Fast X: Part 2 is scheduled to be launched on April 2, 2025.
