If there is one thing more ridiculous than the over-the-top action of the Fast and Furious franchise, it’s the beef between Vin Diesel and one of his co-stars. The actor, who is best known for playing Dominic Toretto in the Fast and Furious films, has also been known to be incredibly vocal with random and sometimes cryptic posts on social media. Now, the actor’s recent Instagram post seems to indicate that the long-standing unspoken feud between him and his co-star Dwayne Johnson has come to an end. For real, this time.
After an awkward acknowledgment of Johnson at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, some were uncertain whether the disagreements between the two actors had really been settled. Now, a new Instagram post from Diesel, which is a photo of him and Johnson smiling together, with the caption “All love…always” has helped to quell any suggestions that the two actors have any problems with one another. The off-hand remarks and comments the actors have made about each other seem to be a thing of the past, which is good considering that Fast X: Part 2 is scheduled to begin production this year.
Fast X, which was released in 2023, featured no sign of Dwayne Johnson’s character Luke Hobbs, until a post-credits scene revealed that his character would be the next target of Jason Momoa’s villain Dante Reyes. Numerous delays have affected the production of what looks to be the final Fast and Furious movie, but with production supposedly going underway soon, it will be interesting to watch Johnson and Diesel share the screen again.
The ‘Fast and Furious’ Feud May Have Been Blown Out of Proportion
The disagreements between the two actors became most evident during the production and promotion of films like The Fate of the Furious and F9: The Fast Saga, in which it seemed that Dwayne Johnson had stepped away from the mainline films to carve his own path in the Fast universe with his spin-off film Hobbs and Shaw. Social media posts made by the Black Adam actor that have since been deleted called out certain unnamed male co-stars as being unprofessional, and although the posts have been deleted, Johnson has commented that he stands by what he said in them.
During the speculation surrounding the feud between the two actors, Vin Diesel shared his own opinion on the matter in 2017, telling People Magazine that he thinks “some things may be blown out of proportion. I don’t think that was his intention. I know he appreciates how much I work this franchise. In my house, he’s Uncle Dwayne.”
Whatever the case may be, Johnson’s absence in the past two Fast and Furious films has been noticeable. The actor’s charismatic debut in Fast Five is a big part of why that film remains one of the best in the franchise, and the character of Hobbs and his physicality go a long way in making the films entertaining. Seeing Hobbs reunite with the Fast Family for one last ride will be a highlight to the epic conclusion, should Fast X: Part 2 meet its production start date.
