Johnson shared a video on social media announcing he’ll be back as Hobbs and revealed that he decided to return to the franchise after seeing how excited fans were to see his cameo in the end credits of Fast X.  

“The secret of Hobbs being back in the Fast & Furious franchise… that was a secret that was hard as hell to keep. You guys know me, my operating motto is always fans first, so it has been so cool to see your reactions around the world of Hobbs returning,” said Johnson in the video.

Johnson made his last appearance as Luke Hobbs in the 2019 spin-off Hobbs & Shaw, but the upcoming film isn’t expected to serve as its direct sequel. Chris Morgan wrote the script, while Johnson will serve as one of the producers through his company Seven Bucks Productions. The door is also open for his potential return in the upcoming Fast X sequel, set to premiere in 2025.

According to Deadline, Netflix is in the early stages of putting together a back-to-back shoot for two Red Notice follow-ups. They’re eyeing early 2023 for the beginning of the shoot, but it all comes down to the schedule of its stars Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot, and Ryan Reynolds, all expected to come back.

Deadline also reports they’re planning to add new characters to the mix and create a heist-film ensemble in the vein of the start-studded Ocean’s Eleven franchise. Rawson Marshall Thurber, who directed and wrote the first film, is also set to come back.

Red Notice followed the adventures of an FBI profiler (Johnson) who joins forces with the world’s most-wanted art thief (Reynolds) in an attempt to stop an elaborate heist by his main rival (Gadot). It was the most costly film in Netflix’s history, with an estimated budget of $200 million. It accumulated a viewership of 364.02 million hours in its first 28 days of release, making it Netflix’s most-watched original movie so far.

Jungle Cruise is based on one of the original Disneyland rides, first introduced when the theme park opened in 1955. It centers on a steamboat captain (Johnson) who leads a scientist (Blunt) and her brother down the Amazon River in search of the mythic Tree of Life.

Disney started plotting the adaptation of Jungle Cruise shortly after Pirates of the Caribbean proved that movies based on theme park attractions can draw large crowds to the theaters. After 15 years in development, this fantasy adventure film finally saw the light of day this summer and has grossed $187 million worldwide so far.

Johnson and Blunt confirmed they’re coming back for the sequel, but the return of Édgar Ramírez, Jack Whitehall, Jesse Plemons, and Paul Giamatti is not official just yet. Jaume Collet-Serra is expected to return as a director, with Michael Green writing the script.

The movie is an action-comedy and will star Johnson alongside Wonder Woman’s Gal Godot and Deadpool‘s Ryan Reynolds. The movie is written and directed by Skyscraper writer and director Rawson Marshall Thurber.

Filming began earlier this year but was put on halt due to the coronavirus. Now, the project is back up and running and we even have a new image of Johnson on set. The photo is of Johnson next to Thurber in an art warehouse.

Johnson wrote in the caption: “The world has changed and so has our proces—we are officially back to work on filming RED NOTICE. A very productive first week back of work, but certainly not without some angst and anxiety, but overall our incredible crew remained focused, disciplined, and executed brilliantly all week long. We have implemented the most aggressive health and safety COVID measures in all of Hollywood, but as I shared with our crew yesterday, we’re all still in beta phase with no ‘COVID playbook’ to reference.

“We’re an agile crew—learning on the go and we will create the blueprint for how effective a large scale production can operate during a pandemic. Proud to go shoulder to shoulder with our entire crew on this game-changer.

He added: “In the mean time I’ll continue to screw up my lines and pretend to listen to my director/writer here @rawsonthurber as he shows me my firing target.”
