The Fast & Furious franchise has starred many superstars in its different editions till now. Some well-known names from the cast are Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Paul Walker, and Tyrese Gibson, among others. But midway through making the blockbusters, stars have engaged in a serious feud with each other. Be it the ongoing dispute between Johnson and Diesel or the altercation between Gibson and The Rock, that has fortunately settled. 

Johnson became the part of Fast & Furious franchise with Fast Five in 2011. Since then he has starred in four editions, including one spinoff, and missing out on F9. And recently he rejoined the franchise for its finale by appearing in Fast X’s post-credit scene. However, this also questions how Johnson returned despite having a complicated relationship with two of his co-stars. The answer lies in Tyrese Gibson’s statement from two years back.
