Dwayne Johnson says Hobbs will be back for ‘Furious 8'
‘Furious 8‘ is ramping up production even if we like it or not. Ludacris and Vin Diesel have been teasing details about the next movie for the past few weeks, and rumors are circulating around the Internet that Eva Mendes may rejoin the ‘Fast and Furious' franchise. But, what about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson?
According to a recent press conference, when Dwayne Johnson was asked about whether or not his character would make an appearance in ‘Furious 8', he answered, “Of course. It can't go on without Hobbs.”In addition, there are details suggesting that a Hobbs solo movie is currently in development. When asked for more details at the press conference, Johnson said the following:
We all are interested in it. I just had a big conversation with the studio. So we'll see. I still think for me personally we've created a little bit of space for him in 7 and the gauge is set for what the audience will want. That's my take on it, you know, but a lot of other people have to have input.
So ‘Furious 8' is coming soon to theaters and a possible spin-off movie for Dwayne Johnson's character. There are no details if Paul Walker's character will be replaced by his younger brother. But, with today's technology and the talent of Hollywood's reboot writers, I will not be surprised.
