Dwayne Johnson, who played Luke Hobbs in the "Fast And Furious", is departing from the franchise for good.

In an interview with Collider, Hiram Garcia, the President of Production at Seven Bucks Productions, affirmed that the former wrestler will not reprise his role as Hobbs for Fast & Furious 10 and 11.

Garcia also confirmed that Johnson will be starring in "Hobbs And Shaw 2",  a sequel to the 2019 successful spinoff of the "Fast & Furious".

The actor made his debut in "Fast 5" and was a part of the franchise all the way through the 2017 movie "The Fate of the Furious".

He parted ways with the franchise after his much-reported conflict with Vin Diesel during filming "The Fate of the Furious".

The actor parted ways with the franchise, opting instead to create the "Hobbs And Shaw", which was a hit at the worldwide box office, grossing $760 million.

The pair publicly ended their feud around the time Hobbs & Shaw hit theaters, with the former wrestler teasing his return for the last two "Fast & Furious "movies.

However, Johnson later backtracked following Diesel's recent claim that their dispute stemmed from him trying to improve The Rock's acting through "tough love".
