The Fast & The Furious franchise might be expanding into a Cinematic Fury-verse as Universal is reportedly planning a spin-off film centered on Dwayne The Rock Johnson and Jason Stathams characters.
The spin-off, which will continue the unlikely union between Johnsons federal agent Luke Hobbs and Furious 7 villain-turned-Fate of the Furious ally Decker Shaw, played by Jason Statham, would arrive prior to the ninth installment of the box office-shattering franchise, Deadline reports.
The film is still in the development stage, and given Johnsons upcoming schedule hes attached to nearly a dozen projects, including a San Andreas sequel, a Big Trouble in Little China reboot, a blockbuster revolving around DC superhero Black Adam and a film about Forties pulp adventurer Doc Savage its unclear when the actor will even have time to film the spin-off, which would be written by Fate of the Furious scribe Chris Morgan.
According to the Wrap, the latest Fast & Furious chapter originally sported a post-credits sequence that would have hinted at Hobbs and Shaws future adventures together, but series star Vin Diesel demanded that the scene be removed; Diesel and Johnson reportedly feuded during the Fate of the Furious filming, with the former WWE star calling the actor a candy ass.
However, with the success of The Fate of the Furious the film smashed Star Wars: The Force Awakens record for opening week worldwide box office Diesel and Johnson have sincesettled their beef ahead of the inevitable Volume 9 of The Fast and the Furious.
