WWE Champion The Rock will reprise his role of Hobbs in the upcoming Fast 6 movie, in theaters May 23rd. The Rock is such a big fan of his character, that he’s interested in Hobbs getting his own spin-off movie.
During a recent interview with Collider.com, The Rock expressed interested in continuing with the Hobbs character, but says his top priority is making sure this latest installment is a huge hit:
“That’s always an ongoing conversation, because it’s really such a cool character. Cool and it’s fun in that franchise, to introduce him. That conversation is always an ongoing conversation. That’s a great thing about working with Neal, too, who hustles to get his movies done and has a studio like Universal who ushered me into the business ten years ago. So there’s a relationship there. That conversation is always ongoing. But I think before going Fast…the story of Fast Six should be taken care of and fostered and making sure that’s good, because the bar was raised in Fast Five.”
