Producing the film will be Johnson himself, alongside Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia, Vin Diesel and Samantha Vincent, Morgan, Jeff Kirschenbaum and Neal Moritz.
Johnson confirmed Hobbs’ return in a video shared on Instagram, expressing his gratitude for the response to Hobbs’ comeback in “Fast X.”
“Fast X” has surpassed $320 million worldwide, securing the second-highest global opening in 2023.
