Vin Diesel Pleads For Dwayne Johnson To Return For Fast 10

One of Hollywood’s most talked about feuds revolve around Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Vin Diesel. It’s one that has led to Johnson leaving the main Fast and Furious films. With the final installment looming, Diesel posted to Instagram to make an impassioned plea for his former costar to return to the action franchise for its penultimate film.

” Diesel wrote alongside a still of the two actors,

“The world awaits the finale of Fast 10. As you know, my children refer to you as Uncle Dwayne in my house. There is not a holiday that goes by that they and you don’t send well wishes… but the time has come. Legacy awaits.”

“Pablo,” aka the late Paul Walker, and his promise to his friend that he would make “the best Fast in the finale that is 10.”

“I say this out of love,”

“You have a very important role to play. Hobbs can’t be played by no other. I hope that you rise to the occasion and fulfill your destiny,”

The note comes after Johnson made it clear that he has no interest in returning to the franchise, which he hasn’t been a part of since the 8th installment.

“I wish them well on Fast 9 and I wish them the best of luck on Fast 10 and Fast 11 and the rest of the Fast & Furious movies they do that will be without me,”
