Fast & Furious franchise, which Johnson ed in 2011 as Luke Hobbs. The reported feud between the two actors dates back to 2016, but the pair seemingly buried the hatchet in 2023 with the release of Fast X. Diesel saying "Hey, Dwayne" followed by an uncomfortable beat while presenting at the Golden Globes on January 5, however, led to more speculation about the pair's dynamic.

Now, after his moment with Johnson went viral on social media, Diesel takes to Instagram to assure fans that there's no bad blood between them. The actor shares an image from the Fast Five premiere 14 years ago of him and Johnson posing together but doesn't directly address the Golden Globes moment in his caption. Instead, Diesel writes "All love... Always..." Check out Diesel's post below:

What Diesel's Post Means For His Future With Johnson In Fast & Furious

Johnson's Future As Luke Hobbs Explained

After Johnson's now-deleted post in 2016 about having worked with "candy asses" on The Fate of the Furious, Diesel and Johnson (and other Fast & Furious cast ) would trade jabs back-and-forth in press interviews and on social media. Diesel tried to mend the bond in 2021, asking Johnson on social media to return as Hobbs for Fast X, but Johnson bluntly shut the idea down. Then, Johnson returned as Hobbs in the Fast X post-credits scene, suggesting that the two had patched things up.

It was promptly announced after Fast X that Johnson would headline his own Hobbs Fast & Furious spinoff movie, but there's been essentially no news on this movie since. It's also unclear if Johnson will return for Fast X: Part 2, which Diesel recently revealed has started filming. Johnson's involvement with future Fast & Furious projects still remains somewhat mysterious, but Diesel is evidently trying to avoid shaking the hornets' nest again when it comes to the pair's reported feud.

Our Take On Diesel's New Post

Will Hobbs Return?

Diesel and Johnson, it seems, have a tentative truce, and Diesel's latest post is proof that he's trying to keep things amicable with his former costar, keeping the door open for Hobbs' return in the Fast & Furious franchise. Still, the entire dynamic seems awkward, and it doesn't inspire much confidence regarding Hobbs' future appearances, at least not those that would involve Dom.

It's unclear whether Fast X: Part 2 will be the final movie in the Fast & Furious franchise, as Diesel has previously teased that the finale could be a trilogy.

Diesel's latest post, however, is a positive sign, and it's entirely possible that everyone is reading too much into his encounter with Johnson at the Golden Globes. Whether the two actors have truly patched things up will become apparent if they appear on-screen together in a future Fast & Furious movie, but that, at least at the moment, doesn't seem like a sure thing.
