8 Fascinating Movie Rumours That Need To Come True In 2016
4. Dwayne Johnson's Fast & Furious Character Luke Hobbs Is Getting A Spin-Off
It's no longer a surpise how ludicrously successful the Fast & Furious series is - we're over half-a-dozen movies into the massive enterprise that only seems to get bigger each time; Furious 7 grossed one billion and a half dollars worldwide, making it one of the ten highest-grossing films of all time. It's likely, then, that Universal would want to keep that ball rolling.
This is why it's thought that, in addition to the three planned sequels, Dwayne Johnson's character Luke Hobbs will star in his very own spin-off, revealing more about his history with the Diplomatic Security Service.
The notion of a sort of shared universe of Fast & Furious films isn't all that shocking. After all, there are loads of characters and such a remaining hunger for the material that it'd be an extremely effective way of capitalising on the series' popularity. In recent years, Dwayne Johnson has proven himself to be a charismatic and commercially viable leading man, so it would be great if this were true.
