The franchise has quite a lot of hype surrounding itself recently, withFast Xbeing part of a three-part finale with will be followed by spin-off series as well as the return of a huge number of old cast members. Fans are truly getting everything they want.
Along with this, Johnson’s return to the series is like the cherry on top for the fans. This is surprising as in previous interviews, Johnson quite clearly stated that he would not be returning to the series, being absent inF9.

This scene made fans incredibly excited to see what is next for the movies, which shows in the amount of success the movie is gathering.

Fast XIt’s Box-Office Success Due To Dwayne Johnson’s Return
Fast Xwas one of the most anticipated movies of 2023. Though it was originally supposed to be the last movie in the franchise,Vin Dieselstated that he did not think that two hours and twenty-one minutes, which is the runtime of the movie, was enough time to say all that they had to say and wrap up all the storyline. So, the movie became part one of a three-part finale.
ThoughDwayne Johnsonwas only part of a post-credit scene in the movie, it seemed to have affected its success drastically as it was not officially confirmed and instead was first seen in theaters itself. The film grossed more than $650 million worldwide with a budget of $340 million. However, it seems that one scene with Johnson does not make the franchise as much money as an entire movie with him.

Fast and FuriousSpin-off MovieHobbs and ShawMade More thanFast X
Dwayne Johnson entered theFast and Furiousfranchise in the fifth movie in the series,Fast Five, as Luke Hobbs. Soon enough, however, he got his own spin-off movie titledHobbs and Shawwith Jason Statham who plays Hobbs’s nemesis, Deckard Shaw. This movie takes place between the eighth and nineFast and Furiousmovies and followers the two characters as they are forced to team up with each other to stop a major threat.
It would seem that Dwayne Johnson’s addition to theFast and Furiousfranchise was quite good for them on a financial front.Hobbs and Shaw, even though a spin-off, ended up managing to make more than $760 million worldwide throughout its course, something Vin Diesel’sFast Xhasn’t been able to do as of yet.
