Over the years, it was clear that everyone in Hollywood loved or liked Dwayne Johnson except one person. That person is none other than Johsnon’s former co-star, Vin Diesel. But seeing the newest installation in the Fast series, Fast X, it looks like Diesel and Johnson have patched things up, much to the joy of a plethora of fans.

But a news source claims that Johnson has something new planning under the Fast series, but he isn’t including Diesel in it. Instead, Johnson is hoping to work with his former co-stars.

Fast X acted as the end of the rivalry between Johnson and Diesel. As the director put it, they signed a peace deal which made it possible for Johnson’s cameo in the end. But it doesn’t look like Johnson wants to work with Diesel more than he has to, as the rumors of a spinoff excluding the face of the franchise, spearheaded by Johnson, are already in the works.

Instead of the face, Johnson is hoping to recruit his two former co-stars, who have excellent chemistry with The Rock. From 2021’s Red Notice. Ryan Reynolds and from the Jumanji movies, Kevin Hart, are both rumored to be in this new spinoff movie.

But while both Johnson and Jason Statham had been part of the Fast series before their spinoff, the same can’t be said about Reynolds and Hart. Will they be able to give an impressive performance under the Fast banner? One thing is for sure. They enjoy an excellent chemistry with Johnson.

How did The Rock’s roles with Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Hart turn out?

There are enough interview clips and segments where anyone can see that Hart and Johnson are a great comedic duo. From their timing to their ability to roast each other, without any feuds between them, is rare in Hollywood. So, the two obviously capitalized on it and featured in 5 movies together till now. If this Fast spinoff comes to fruition, it’ll give us more great Johnson-Hart moments.

Reynolds and Johnson also have great chemistry which led Netflix to confirm a sequel to their previous movie together, Red Notice. Reynolds also was teased in the Hobbs and Shaw spinoff but never showed his face. So, it could be a hint that Reynolds will act as the antagonist of this new movie.
