Tyrese Gibson Blames Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson for 'Fast & Furious 9' Delay
Is it the Rock's fault he has so many projects to do at one time and Tyrese doesn't? The fourth film in this franchise was supposed to be an Homage to the original only, a way to close the story. Then "The Rock" agreed to do one, and appeared in "Fast Five" that re-energized the franchise and took it to new heights.
Tyrese wouldn't even be doing these films without 'The Rock' joining for "Fast Five".
The actor took to his Instagram to accuse the wrestler-turned-actor of holding up the next installment in the hugely successful action franchise until 2020. The movie previously had an April 2019 release date.
“Congratulations to @therock and your brother in law aka 7 bucks producing partner @hhgarcia41 for making the fast and the furious franchise about YOU,” the actor wrote, also taking a dig at Johnson’s last movie Baywatch, which underperformed this summer at the U.S. box office.
“If you move forward with that #Hobbs Movie you will have purposely ignored the heart to heart moment we had in my sprinter,” Gibson wrote in September. “I don’t wanna hear from you until you remember what we talked about. I’m on your timeline cause you’re not responding to my text messages – #FastFamily is just that a family…….. We don’t fly solo.”
The drama between actors in the franchise first erupted on the set of Fast 8 when Johnson called out some of his male costars as “chicken s—” and “candy-ass.” Gibson took to Instagram in defense of franchise star and producer Vin Diesel at the time – who is reportedly the target of his costar’s rant.
