Dwayne Johnson's "Fast and Furious" Spin-Off Title Revealed

The title for Universal's new Fast and Furious movie, starring Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson as Luke Hobbs, has seemingly been revealed. 

According to Production Weekly, the new standalone movie will be titled "Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Reyes", meaning that it will be entirely centered on the battle between Johnson’s Luke Hobbs and Jason Momoa’s villainous Dante Reyes

Earlier this month, Johnson confirmed that he will make his return to the "Fast & Furious" universe.

The announcement comes after he appeared in an end credit cameo reprising the role in "Fast X". The scene features Hobbs talking to Reyes. The footage hints at the two of them duking them out in the future.

The movie would be a continuation of that sequence that will bridge into a "Fast X: Part II". It is based on a screenplay by longtime "Fast and Furious" collaborator, Chris Morgan.

Johnson, Dany Garcia, and Hiram Garcia will produce for their Seven Bucks Productions alongside Vin Diesel and Samantha Vincent for their One Race Films. Also producing are Morgan for his Chris Morgan Productions, Jeff Kirschenbaum for Roth/Kirschenbaum Films, and Neal Moritz for Original Film.

Johnson made his debut in “Fast 5” playing Hobbs and was a part of the franchise through the 2017 movie “The Fate of the Furious”.

Johnson was last seen as Hobbs in the Fast & Furious series in "Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw".

The tenth chapter, "Fast X", opened No. 1 around the world earlier this month with $320 million and became the second biggest global opening of 2023. The movie opened No. 1 in all markets where it was released, including China. Fast X crossed $500 million in its second weekend with a healthy summer play period to come.

“Fast X” is being billed by Universal Pictures as the beginning of the end of the saga, which kicked off in 2001. The plan has long been to split the finale into two films, “Fast X” and the upcoming 11th installment.

In a recent interview, Diesel previously teased that the finale might be divided into three movies instead.

“Look how many characters and great talent there is in the movie. There was no way I can pull that off unless I had everyone on for five seconds. These characters are appealing and we need to see more of them,”.
