Fast and Furious

If yesterday didn’t make you feel especially patriotic, then maybe this news will remind you of the goodness in America’s heart: Idris Motherf—king Elba (that’s his legal name, I swear) has signed on to play the villain in Hobbs & Shaw, the upcoming Fast & Furious spinoff starring the only good parts of The Fate of the Furious (sorry, Charlize, but you get it).

The Fast & Furious franchise really is all about family. The billion-dollar speed saga is officially racing onto Netflix with a new animated series following the adventures of Dominic Toretto’s young cousin. We swear we’re not making this up.

Sorry, Vin Diesel, but The Rock just won this round.

Dwayne Johnson finally opens up about the Vin Diesel ‘Candy Ass-gate’ feud, and why he may not be back for ‘Fast and Furious 9.’

The man who created the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise also told us about the making of his latest crazy action movie, ‘The Hurricane Heist.’

The ‘Fast and Furious’ drama with Tyrese Gibson and The Rock has been almost more dramatic than the plot of an actual Fast & Furious movie.

Each new development in the Fast and Furious feud is somehow more delightful and absurd than the last. First there was the highly-publicized beef between Dwayne Johnson and Vin “Candyass” Diesel. Then Tyrese Gibson got involved when it was announced that Johnson is headlining a spinoff. That quickly escalated when Universal pushed back the release of Furious 9 to make room for the spinoff, and now, a few irate Instagram posts later, here we are: Tyrese Gibson is threatening to quit the Fast fam if Dwayne Johnson returns for the ninth movie.

Tyrese shared a video of The Rock brutally bashing his 2015 album, and the ‘Fast and Furious’ feud continues.

This Fast and Furious family feud has become so wacky and convoluted that it could easily serve as the plot for the next Fast and Furious movie. If you haven’t been paying attention, here’s a quick recap: After some highly-publicized beef with Vin Diesel on the set of The Fate of the Furious, Dwayne Johnson struck a deal with Universal for his very own spinoff with Jason Statham. Last week, the studio pushed the release of Fast 9 back from 2019 to 2020, and subsequently scheduled Johnson’s spinoff for…2019. Tyrese Gibson dragged Johnson on Instagram. Then Diesel chimed in with a post about staying positive. Grab your popcorn, fam, because Johnson just responded.

Frenemies Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw are getting their ‘Fast and Furious’ spinoff sooner than we’d thought.
