The Rock 100% officially confirmed and stated it’s true… HOBBS IS BACK!!!!!
Dwayne Johnson confirmed he’s returning to the Fast & Furious franchise for a spin-off about his character Hobbs. A year ago his future in the film series was in doubt amid a feud with Vin Diesel. Near the end of 2021, Dwayne said that his time as Hobbs had come to an end but in last month’s release Fast X, Dwayne shocked fans by briefly appearing in a mid-credits scene.
In a new Instagram post on Thursday THE ROCK revealed that his cameo was the prelude to a full-scale comeback for his character. He shared that he and Vin have “been like brothers for years and despite having our differences, when you lead with the idea of number one, resolve, but then also, you just think about the future and you think about plans that are much bigger than ourselves, and those bigger plans are the bigger buildouts. Those bigger plans are the North Star, as I always like to say. The North Star is always my guiding light in whatever endeavor or opportunity that I am in that I’m passionate about. I always keep a North Star in my clarity and in my focus and in this case the North Star is the franchise that we love. The North Star – our characters that we love. And the North Star – our fans that we love. So when you add all that up, it’s really not a hard decision to make. It’s a yes.”
The Rock posted a video with the following caption on his Instagram

The next Fast & Furious film you’ll see the legendary lawman in will be the HOBBS movie that will serve as a fresh, new chapter & set up for FASTX: Part II
Last summer @vindiesel and I put all the past behind us. We’ll lead with brotherhood and resolve – and always take care of the franchise, characters & FANS that we love.
I’ve built my career on an “ Audience First” mentality and that will always serve as my
North Star ⭐️
Congratulations to my Fast Family & Universal Studios on the global success of FAST X and as always, Hobbs & @SevenBucksProd are motivated to help take the Fast franchise to new and exciting places for fans worldwide.
“Daddy’s gotta go to work” ~ HOBBS
