Dwayne Johnson as Hobbs and Jason Statham as Shaw from the Fast and Furious Franchise
Summary The impending return of Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham to the Fast & Furious franchise only makes the absence of Hobbs & Shaw 2 seem more glaring. Johnson, who is also known by his wrestling moniker "The Rock," joined the franchise in 2011's Fast Five. Statham was hot on his heels, making a cameo in that movie's immediate sequel before joining the main cast as Deckard Shaw in 2015's Furious 7.
Jason Statham & The Rock Returned To Fast & Furious In Fast X Johnson Sat Out F9 While Statham Had A Reduced Role For some time before Jason Statham and The Rock's Fast X return, it seemed that the Hobbs & Shaw spinoff would result in both stars exiting the flagship franchise. At the very least, it seemed possible that their appearances would be relegated to more minor cameos maintaining the franchise's continuity.
Hobbs & Shaw 2 Not Happening Still Doesn’t Make Sense The Original Spinoff Was A Financial Success Close Although Johnson and Statham are both being folded back into the primary branch of the franchise, it still doesn't make sense why Hobbs & Shaw 2 has failed to come to fruition. For one thing, the movie was well-received critically.
However, Fast X finds the franchise in an entirely different place from the time when the spinoff was released. It wasn't until after the premiere of Hobbs & Shaw that the movies began to take a considerable commercial downturn. The diminishing returns of the flagship series, as well as the ballooning budget of Fast X, which may have prevented it from hitting its break-even point, make the spinoff's box office results look much stronger in retrospect.
