Hobbs is here to stay.
By Brandon Wolfe
Even though his appearance in Furious 7 amounted to little more than an extended cameo, Dwayne Johnson has revealed that he will indeed be riding shotgun for the upcoming Furious 8 (or whatever wacky thing they'll actually call it). For, as the actor himself says, “It can’t go on without Hobbs.”
The actor has also addressed the possibility of a Hobbs spin-off film. “We all are interested in it,” says Johnson. “I just had a big conversation with the studio. So we’ll see. I still think for me personally we’ve created a little bit of space for him in 7 and the gauge is set for what the audience will want. That’s my take on it, you know, but a lot of other people have to have input.”
While it seemed like Johnson’s punishingly busy work schedule would rule out further Furious appearances (especially since the cast is so large now that the series arguably doesn’t need him), it is great to hear that he is indeed going to remain a part of Dom’s family for the foreseeable future.
