Vin Diesel, after having some publized fall out with Dwayne Johnson but staying quiet last year during the first round of the Tyrese vs The Rock beef, has seemingly taken his stance when it comes to the new spinoff film. Diesel, who plays Dominic Toretto in the Fast & Furious franchise, has always been seen as the lead in the series but rarely tries to outshine his co-stars. However, ever since the character of Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) was added to the films, the franchise has seen a resurgence of popularity and Vin has reluctantly taken a backseat. With this popularity came the news that Johnson would be granted his own spinoff film based on the character of Hobbs. Tyrese Gibson (Roman Pearce) was not happy with this news stating, “we are a family, we do things together.”
The latest chapter in this drama happened yesterday when the news broke that the 9th installment of the Fast and Furious franchise has been pushed back to 2020 due to the Hobbs Spinoff film, starring Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham, being scheduled for a 2019 release. Once again Tyrese expresses his dislike for this move claiming that Johnson is making the franchise about him. This time around though, we do get a reaction from Dom himself. Last night on his Instagram, Diesel posted a photo of himself in-between Tyrese Gibson and the late Paul Walker with the caption that read, “Brotherhood…”. Seems to me that Vin has stated his stance on this situation and it is going to be pretty interesting when they beginning filming F9.
