Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Vin Diesel finally squashed their beef and it looks like we'll be seeing more of Luke Hobbs in the future.
This all according to Johnson's Twitter post that revealed he and Diesel made amends last summer after their long-running feud. The conflict was allegedly over 2017's The Fate of the Furious and resulted in Johnson bowing out of the franchise.
But his tweet exclaimed:
"HOBBS IS BACK."
"Luke Hobbs will be returning to the Fast & Furious franchise."
He also shared:
"Last summer, Vin and I put the past behind us. We'll lead with brotherhood and resolve - and always take care of the franchise, characters & FANS that we love."
In an accompanying video, Johnson explained more about his excitement for his comeback as well as about working things out with Diesel in order focus on the future of the franchise.

Johnson also shared in his post:
“The next Fast & Furious film you’ll see the legendary lawman in will be the HOBBS movie that will serve as a fresh, new chapter & set up for FASTX: Part II."
Fast X was intended to be the first part of the last two Fast And Furious films.
Now, however, it seems as if there will be another Fast film sandwiched between the two finale films.
More F&F for fans is welcome news.
