Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson wants to “elevate” the Fast & Furious series with the forthcoming spin-off centered around his character Hobbs.
Despite the fact Hobbs wasn’t introduced until the fifth entry, it’s hard to imagine the Fast & Furious series without him.
Johnson showed particularly strong chemistry with Jason Statham’s Deckard Shaw in The Fate of the Furious, with the two building a nice buddy cop relationship.
The main Fast & Furious series is due to wrap up with the tenth movie, but given the massive success of the franchise, the studio will likely be looking for a way to keep it alive.
