Vin Diesel extended Sunday an olive branch to Dwayne Johnson to make peace and return to the "Fast and Furious" franchise.
Johnson made his debut in “Fast 5” playing Luke Hobbs and was a part of the franchise all the way through the 2017 movie “The Fate of the Furious”.
The two mega action stars had an epic falling out in 2016 after they clashed during filming “The Fate of the Furious”.
Johnson 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”.
However, Diesel is ready to put the drama behind them as the franchise is approaching its finale.
"My little brother Dwayne... the time has come. The world awaits the finale of Fast 10. As you know, my children refer to you as Uncle Dwayne in my house," Diesel wrote on Instagram.
"There is not a holiday that goes by that they and you don’t send well wishes... but the time has come. Legacy awaits. I told you years ago that I was going to fulfill my promise to Pablo," he added.
Diesel continued: "I swore that we would reach and manifest the best Fast in the finale that is 10! I say this out of love... but you must show up, do not leave the franchise idle you have a very important role to play,".
"Hobbs can’t be played by no other. I hope that you rise to the occasion and fulfill your destiny," he concluded.
