Why Dwayne Johnson’s Hobbs Isn’t In Fast X

Despite having previously been a massive part of the Fast and Furious franchise, there appeared to be no chance of a Dwayne Johnson Fast X appearance. Johnson first appeared in 2011’s Fast Five as Hobbs. Working for the Diplomatic Security Service, he headed to Rio de Janeiro to arrest Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto, Paul Walker’s Brian O’Conner, and the rest of the family after they are framed for the murders of several DEA agents, who were actually killed on the orders of crime lord Hernan Reyes. Following a wall-busting fight with Dom, Hobbs joins forces with the family to avenge his fallen agents and bring Reyes to justice.
