The Rock has promised that Luke Hobbs will have a much more substantial role in Fast 8 than he did in Furious 7.
But it’s now expected that The Rock’s Hobbs will be in the thick of the action throughout this time, rather than just sporadically present.
Not to be outdone by Vin Diesel, Tyrese Gibson, Michelle Rodriguez, Chris Bridges, and Paul Walker, Luke Hobbs did return for Furious 7’s final showdown.
Which was lucky, because he really should have died from his injuries.
