Vin Diesel Weighs In On ‘Fast & Furious 9’ Release Date Drama
Universal Pictures is delaying the release of Fast & Furious 9, and since the announcement, actors and fans have come out against Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson — many of whom blame for the pushing of the film.
In fact, Tyrese Gibson took to Instagram, saying Dwayne made the movie “all about” him and later called him a “clown.”
But Vin Diesel is deciding to come in, bringing up the bonds of brotherhood:
“I know there has been a lot of speculation as to why the Fast 9 release date was pushed… but it would be unfair to say it is anyone’s fault,” he wrote. “As we plot the course to expand the Fast & Furious universe, one must be mindful to take stock of the roads we took to get here. The pillars of authenticity, family and most importantly, our loyal fan’s perspective has been instrumental in procuring success.”
Vin continued: “Like any vehicle that has run around the globe 8 times, the franchise is in need of maintenance. My good friend and the godfather of Universal, Ron Meyer has granted me the time to do just that. We have some very exciting news to share soon… stay tuned. Yours truly, Dom #FamilyAlways.”
