The Fast and Furious Franchise Doesn’t Need Vin Diesel Anymore

 

 

The Fast & Furious movies have been centered around Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto so far, but the franchise is about to outgrow him. The films started with a story about a team of L.A. street racers and has since evolved into a globe-trotting action spectacular with the same team (plus or minus a few members) taking on mercenaries, hackers, and terrorists. The franchise has become so successful it has even launched a spin-off for two of its characters: Luke Hobbs played by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Deckard Shaw played by Jason Statham. And with the announcement that David Leith is directing the spin-off film, rumored to be titled Hobbs and Shaw, the stakes have been raised, and Diesel may be left behind.

 

It’s no secret that there is in-fighting behind the scenes of the franchise. While the films claim to be all about “family”, Johnson and the franchise’s star Vin Diesel, have such beef between them that the two men cannot even be in scenes together. Which means, once Johnson gets his own film, it’s more than likely that we won’t see him return for Fast and Furious 9. With the egos behind the scenes it is sure to make for some competition and a fight for superiority.
