Vin Diesel wants to resolve the conflict with “The Rock” Dwayne Johnson and invites him back to play Luke Hobbs in the Fast & Furious film series.
Actor Vin Diesel posted a long article on his personal Instagram, expressing his desire to make peace and invite Dwayne Johnson back to Fast & Furious after many years of conflict. Specifically, Vin Diesel wrote: “My brother Dwayne, this moment must come. The whole world is waiting for Fast & Furious 10 . I promised Pablo (aka Paul Walker) that part 10 of Fast & Furious would be the best part yet. To do that, we need your presence.”

Besides, Vin Diesel also affirmed that no one can play Luke Hobbs better than Dwayne Johnson. Therefore, he really hopes that The Rock can return to the movie and complete his mission with Fast & Furious. Dwayne Johnson has participated in this popular action racing series since 2011, in Fast Five . The actor plays agent of the Department of Diplomatic Security Luke Hobbs and is loved by many audiences. After that, Dwayne Johnson continued to appear in Fast & Furious 6 , Furious 7 , The Fate of the Furious and the spin-off Hobbs & Shaw.
The conflict between The Rock and Vin Diesel arose in 2016 when they co-starred in The Fate of the Furious . The starting point was because Dwayne Johnson hinted that Vin Diesel was unprofessional and had star disease. The two muscular Hollywood actors still appeared together in many projects after that but were considered “unsatisfied”. One month after Fast & Furious 9 ( F9 ) premiered in North America, Dwayne Johnson announced he would not participate in future projects in this series. F9 is also the first time in the past 10 years that Dwayne does not accompany Dominic Toretto’s family on the big screen.

Currently, Dwayne Johnson has not responded to Vin Diesel on social networks . The Hollywood Reporter has contacted The Rock about this but has not received a response from him
