Plans to actually develop the spin-off were informally green-lit towards the end of filming, and they were later revealed to be the reason behind the much-discussed animosity that emerged between Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson in the final week of production, which resulted in Diesel reportedly canceling some of Johnson's scenes (which was within his purview as one of the movie's producers), and not showing up for filming at all on at least one day of production, leaving hundreds of cast and crew sitting idle. After news of the spin-off became public, co-stars Michelle Rodriguez (Letty Ortiz) and Tyrese Gibson (Roman Pearce) publicly criticized it for damaging the Fast & Furious "family", as well as pushing back the release of the series' ninth installment by at least a year. As of February 2019, Johnson has stated he will "probably not" return for Fast & Furious 9 (2020), but would consider it for the tenth in the franchise.
With Ryan Reynolds appearing and not having his name in the main credits, he brought two fellow actors along from one of his last action movies. Rob Delaney (Peter) from DEADPOOL 2 (2018) was Agent Loeb in this movie. Also, Eddie Marsan, who was Dr. Andreiko in this movie, was the sadistic Headmaster in DEADPOOL 2 (2018).
Jason Statham and Cliff Curtis appeared together in another movie, THE MEG (2018). In that movie, Jason's character's name was Jonah. In this movie it was Cliff's character who was named Jonah. |
