For me, once Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson came aboard the Fast and Furious franchise, the films became more entertaining, part of this was the focus moving from street racing to a heist crew. Then, British tough guy Jason Statham (who will always and forever be Turkish) was brought in it just got even better.
As most of you know by now, the two aforementioned badasses are starring in a Fast and Furious spin-off with their characters from said franchise. A film for which the first trailer will drop this Friday. Unfortunately, this means that neither Dwayne Johnson onr Jason Statham will be a part of Fast and Furious 9.
The Rock recently spoke with MTVNews and dropped word that Fast and Furious 9 will be missing a couple of favorites.
“The plan has always been for the Fast and Furious universe to grow and expand. As of now, we’re not in Fast 9 because they’re getting ready to start shooting. But who knows, with Fast 10 and down the road. You never know. Because look, at the end of the day, the truth is, there’s unfinished business between Hobbs and Dom. It’s unfinished.”

Bummer man! The Rock is arguably the biggest star in Hollywood right now, and like The Rock, Jason Statham has a presence about him that is always welcome as well. Hopefully both Johnson and Statham can be a part of Fast 10, but if not, at least we’ll get to see them together in Hobbs and Shaw.
