The actors announcement came after he shocked fans by making a surprise cameo in the end credits of the franchises 10th film, Fast X, which hit theaters last month.

Johnson appeared as Luke Hobbs in four Fast & Furious films from 2011 to 2017, including the 2019 spinoff Hobbs & Shaw alongside Jason Statham.

The WWE alum also shared that his ongoing feud with actor Vin Diesel, who produces and stars in the Fast & Furious films, has come to an end.

Last summer Vin and I put all the past behind us. Well lead with brotherhood and resolve and always take care of the franchise, characters & FANS that we love, Johnson explained in his tweet.

The beef between Johnson and Diesel began after the Jumanji star made an Instagram post in 2016 calling some of his unnamed male co-stars candy asses after working on 2017s The Fate of the Furious.

My male co-stars however are a different story. Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others dont. The ones that dont are too chicken shit to do anything about it anyway. Candy asses, Johnson wrote at the time. When you watch this movie next April and it seems like Im not acting in some of these scenes and my blood is legit boiling youre right.

Reports later revealed that his remarks were aimed at Diesel . Over the years, the pair took jabs at each other in various interviews. However in 2021, Diesel hit Instagram to essentially beg Johnson to return for Fast X, though Johnson refused, asserting that he would never star in the franchise again.

He also slammed Diesels post at the time, calling it an example of his manipulation in an interview with CNN .

The untitled Fast & Furious spinoff film has yet to secure a release date.
