10 Actors Not Returning For Upcoming Sequels

10. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson - Fast & Furious 9

Since its inception, the Fast and Furious franchise has cycled through some incredible onscreen talent. Many major stars only drop in for an instalment or two late in the game (looking at you, Charlize Theron), while others such as Vin Diesel have centred their careers around the adrenaline fuelled adventure movies.

The untimely death of original star Paul Walker left the franchise at a loss in 2014, and the filmmakers went on to refocus the series on former WWE superstar Dwayne the Rock Johnson’s character Luke Hobbs. However, this approach will soon need to be reconfigured as Johnson has confirmed he will not be appearing in the forthcoming Fast and Furious 9, due to his commitments to… Er, the series of spin-off Hobbs and Shaw films.

One thing is for certain; whatever about Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, and the rest of the cast, as long as there are cars to chase there will be fuel for further entries in this never-ending blockbuster franchise.
