The ‘Fast X’ film released in mid-May 2023. Universal is now in the process of developing a new Fast & Furious film that will star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. 

Johnson shared that the ‘Luke Hobbs’ character is returning to the franchise. He said the new film will be the set up for Fast X: Part II. Johnson noted that last summer, he was able to get together with Vin Diesel and hash things out. He wrote the following: 

Hope you’ve got your funderwear on…

HOBBS IS BACK.
And he just got lei’d 🌺😈

Luke Hobbs will be returning to the Fast & Furious franchise.

Your reactions around the world to Hobbs’ return in Fast X have blown us away 🤯🙏🏾🌍

The next Fast & Furious film you’ll see the legendary lawman in will be the HOBBS movie that will serve as a fresh, new chapter & set up for FASTX: Part II

Last summer Vin and I put all the past behind us. We’ll lead with brotherhood and resolve – and always take care of the franchise, characters & FANS that we love.

I’ve built my career on an “ Audience First” mentality and that will always serve as my
North Star ⭐️

Congratulations to my Fast Family & Universal Studios on the global success of FAST X and as always, Hobbs &
@SevenBucksProd
