- With Furious 7 bringing in over $1 billion worldwide, The Rock recently spoke to Access Hollywood about possibly bringing back Hobbs for part 8:
"Vin and I were talking the other day and we think the best thing [is] to probably create a little bit of space. Let's let people enjoy 'Furious 7,' and we'll see. It would be a great challenge to do 'Fast 8.' But we're up for the challenge if we decide to go down that road. I love the franchise. I have a blast doing that franchise. The character, the fun ? the fun I have is off the charts."
