Vin Diesel Shares 'Brotherhood' Photo With Tyrese and Paul Walker After Dwayne Johnson 'Fast' Spinoff News
The ‘xXx’ star seems to be siding with his former co-star.
Can’t we all just get along?
Vin Diesel took to Instagram on Thursday to share an old photo of himself with co-stars Tyrese Gibson and the late Paul Walker.
Simply captioned, “Brotherhood…” the post comes after Gibson publicly slammed his Fast 8 co-star, Dwayne Johnson, for apparently holding up the next installment of the franchise.
According to Variety, Fast 9 was set to be released in April of 2019, but has been pushed back a year for unspecified reasons.
"Congratulations to @TheRock and your brother in law aka 7 bucks producing partner @hhgarcia41 for making the fast and the furious franchise about YOU," wrote Gibson on Instagram, later sharing another post claiming that he was offered a spinoff, but declined it.
“Diversity, love, multi ethnic worldwide multi generational, United Nations, One Race, Fast Family...... Until Dewayne showed up I guess this whole time he had a problem cause he wasn't the ONLY ONE on the movie poster,” Gibson wrote. “I guess dreams do come true congratulations to @hhgarcia41 and @therock you guys are just amazing you really broke up the #FastFamily I tried to warn you guys... You thought I was hating...... I was simply fighting to keep the family together what makes us great is when you see us all TOGETHER.”
“They offered but YOU didn't have to agree with a solo #HobbsMovie #OriginalFastFamily we salute you and stand on your shoulders #VinDiesel #PaulWalker #RobCohen#RomanTej were offered a spin off we TURNED IT DOWN!!!” Gibson continued.
A source tells ET that Gibson’s claim about a spinoff is “one hundred percent not true.”
“He wasn’t offered a spinoff,” the source added.
Meanwhile, Johnson took to Instagram on Thursday to share a photo from the set of his new film, Skyscraper.
“Calm before the chaos and minutes away from doing the unthinkable,” he captioned a black-and-white photo of himself. “Which is way more fun than the thinkable.”
