Fast & Furious feud: Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel appear to have buried the hatchet

The ugly Fast and Furious feud between Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel appears to be over.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson appears to have ended his bitter feud with Vin Diesel and has hinted that he will return to the Fast & Furious movies.

Johnson, the world’s highest paid actor, 47, thanked fans for making his Fast & Furious spin-off Hobbs And Shaw a global box office success after it passed $1.11 billion in takings worldwide, The Sun reports.

In a sweat-soaked Instagram video filmed inside a gym, Johnson said: “You have officially made Hobbs and Shaw not only a massive global success as we just crossed $750 million ($US) at the global box office, but also you helped build up an expansion of the Fast & Furious franchise.”

He went on to directly thank “brother” Vin Diesel, 52, and referenced a congratulatory comment from the star after he married his wife Lauren Hashian earlier this year.

Johnson said: “I appreciate it. Lauren and I appreciate the wedding congratulations, and we send love right back to you and Paloma (Jimenez). I appreciate it, brother.

“You know what a wild ride this is and what a wild ride this has been. Ten years ago, when you and I spoke, and you invited me into the Fast & Furious family.

“I’m grateful for that invite and, as you know, my goal was always all these years to come into the Fast & Furious world and help elevate the franchise in any way I possibly could. If I could do that, then I’ve done my job.

“And of course, all roads lead to one thing. I’ll be seeing you soon, Toretto.”

Johnson signed off with a smile and knowing wink.

Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson face off in Fast & Furious 5.

Diesel plays street racer and criminal Dom Toretto in the film franchise and Johnson plays FBI agent Luke Hobbs.

The actors became embroiled in a bitter feud while filming The Fate Of The Furious in 2017.

Despite it being their fourth time working together on the franchise, they didn’t actually film a single scene in the flick together.

Wrestler-turned-actor Johnson later explained what caused the feud in an interview with Rolling Stone.

“Vin and I had a few discussions, including an important face-to-face in my trailer. And what I came to realise is that we have a fundamental difference in philosophies on how we approach movie making and collaborating.

“It took me some time, but I’m grateful for that clarity. Whether we work together again or not.”

Fast & Furious 9 started filming in England in June. Johnson isn’t expected to appear in the film, which is set to be released in 2020, but there’s a good chance he could return in Fast & Furious 10, which is scheduled for 2021.
