Dwayne Johnson stormed into the Fast & Furious franchise like a freight train in Fast Five before he flipped the tone and pace of the series into something faster and more muscle-bound than ever. Then, after Jason Statham showed up in Fast & Furious 6 as Deckard Shaw, things only got wilder. His entrance came swinging in, with all guns blazing and locked on revenge for his brother Owen.
However, if you are a fan of the Fast & Furious franchise, then you would probably know by now that the rivalry did not stay simple for long, and by the time the dust settled, Shaw turned into an uneasy ally and even got his own spin-off with Johnson. Hobbs & Shaw was not shy about its scale and stacked up over $760 million at the box office, per Box Office Mojo. It stirred enough interest for a sequel, although the next chapter has reshuffled its deck with Jason Momoa now stepping in. The new team-up is still being kept quiet for now.
