More on Dwayne Johnson-Vin Diesel feud

The friction between Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel reached a breaking point while they were filming 2017's The Fate of the Furious. Vin Diesel is still serving as Dom Toretto, the franchise centre. However, Johnson's Hobbs has only appeared in the 2019 spin-off Hobbs & Shaw alongside Jason Statham, leaving the main franchise.

The new film enables Universal to continue a franchise that has been going strong for more than two decades but was thought to be coming to an end. The franchise has made more than $7 billion at the global box office over the course of its ten films. Earlier in May, Fast X became the second-biggest worldwide opening of 2023 by earning $320 million in revenues. In its second weekend, it surpassed the $500 million milestone.
