In a June Men’s Health interview promoting the latest movie, Vin Diesel implied that a much-publicized feud between him and Johnson actually was a technique he deployed to elicit a better acting performance from the former pro wrestler. “I could give a lot of tough love,” Diesel said. “Not Felliniesque, but I would do anything I’d have to do in order to get performances in anything I’m producing.”
When asked about Diesel’s comments, Johnson says, “I laughed and I laughed hard. I think everyone had a laugh at that. And I’ll leave it at that. And that I’ve wished them well. I wish them well on Fast 9. And I wish them the best of luck on Fast 10 and Fast 11 and the rest of the Fast & Furious movies they do that will be without me.”

Money talks, but The Rock has enough at this point to not deal with Vin Diesel's bullshit.

I still need to se Fast 9 but Vin can easily find more top of the line stars to put in there for the next two films easily. I never thought I would see Han back in the Series and now he is back so anything is possible in this franchise.

I personally feel like this franchise has started to overstay its welcome but I don't think it really needs The Rock to do well in the box office like other films might. Pretty insane the numbers these movies bring in.

Looks like F9 is a pretty big drop in quality judging by reviews, there was one point where the movies seemed to keep getting better. I'm not in any rush to see it where as I used to want to see them right away.

Kinda had a feeling Rock was done with the F&F franchise when Hobbs and Shaw dropped.

Id be all for a Hobbs and Shaw 2. Keep them going.

Haven't seen F9 yet either but I hear that it's just as silly as the recent F&F movies. I hope that for the last one they go back to the roots of what made the whole thing popular.
