FastX director Louis Leterrier on how they pulled off THAT post-credits surprise.
The Fast and Furious franchise has a few surprises left up its sleeves, despite sending the family to space, using giant magnets, driving cars out of planes, driving off one skyscraper onto another and, most shockingly of all, stealing DVD players. One surprise almost nobody expected, however, came at the conclusion of Fast X - the penultimate edition of the Fast franchise.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The scene in question features Dwayne Johnson's Luke Hobbs returning to the franchise, after missing the previous installment, F9, owing to a fallout between Johnson and series stalwart Vin Diesel. The falling out between the pair was fractious to say the least, but it seems the man who brought Johnson back into the family was actually director Louis Leterrier, as he explained to Total Film.
The beef between Johnson and Diesel had gone on for a number of years, stemming from an Instagram message posted around the end of shooting Fate of the Furious in August 2016. In it, he criticized unnamed male actors he worked with, referring to them as "candy asses", one of his signature catchphrases from his WWE heyday. It was also reported that Diesel resented the massive success of Hobbs & Shaw, the spin-off film featuring Johnson and Jason Statham.
