That\u2019s where Johnson revealed he shut down Diesel privately and that there\u2019s \u201cno chance\u201d he\u2019ll return to the \u201cFast and Furious\u201d franchise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis past June, when Vin and I actually connected not over social media, I told him directly \u2014 and privately \u2014 that I would not be returning to the franchise,\u201d the \u201cJungle Cruise\u201d star said.<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cI was firm yet cordial with my words and said that I would always be supportive of the cast and always root for the franchise to be successful, but that there was no chance I would return. I privately spoke with my partners at Universal as well, all of whom were very supportive as they understand the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This total denial of reconciliation comes not long after Diesel made his intentions very public with a surprisingly honest plea on social media.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy little brother Dwayne\u2026 the time has come,\u201d Diesel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-news\/fast-and-furious-vin-diesel-dwayne-johnson-franchise-1235043921\/\">shared<\/a> to Instagram, \u201cThe world awaits the finale of Fast 10. As you know, my children refer to you as Uncle Dwayne in my house. There is not a holiday that goes by that they and you don\u2019t send well wishes\u2026 but the time has come. Legacy awaits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rather than be moved by his former co-star\u2019s words, The Rock said he felt the whole thing had sinister motives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVin\u2019s recent public post was an example of his manipulation. I didn\u2019t like that he brought up his children in the post, as well as Paul Walker\u2019s death. Leave them out of it,\u201d Johnson told CNN. \u201cWe had spoken months ago about this and came to a clear understanding. My goal all along was to end my amazing journey with this incredible Fast &amp; Furious franchise with gratitude and grace. It\u2019s unfortunate that this public dialogue has muddied the waters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The feud wasn\u2019t likely to end that easily. The pair apparently clashed on the set of \u201cThe Fate of the Furious\u201d in 2016 and spent the next few years trading insults through interviews and public forums.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For example, Diesel told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.menshealth.com\/entertainment\/a36663682\/vin-diesel-f9-interview\/\">Men\u2019s Health<\/a> in 2021 that he gave Johnson a \u201ctough love\u201d approach to develop the character.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a tough character to embody, the Hobbs character,\u201d Diesel said. \u201cMy approach at the time was a lot of tough love to assist in getting that performance where it needed to be. As a producer to say, Okay, we\u2019re going to take Dwayne Johnson, who\u2019s associated with wrestling, and we\u2019re going to force this cinematic world, audience members, to regard his character as someone that they don\u2019t know \u2014 Hobbs hits you like a ton of bricks. That\u2019s something that I\u2019m proud of, that aesthetic. That took a lot of work. We had to get there and sometimes, at that time, I could give a lot of tough love. Not Felliniesque, but I would do anything I\u2019d have to do in order to get performances in anything I\u2019m producing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnson didn\u2019t stay quiet about that assertion. He told The Hollywood Reporter, \u201cI laughed and I laughed hard. I think everyone had a laugh at that. And I\u2019ll leave it at that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cAnd that I\u2019ve wished them well. I wish them well on Fast 9. And I wish them the best of luck on Fast 10 and Fast 11 and the rest of the Fast &amp; Furious movies they do that will be without me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
