https://edition.cnn.com/2021/12/29/entertainment/dwayne-the-rock-johnson-interview/index.html

I was very surprised by Vin's recent post. This past June, when Vin and I actually connected not over social media, I told him directly - and privately - that I would not be returning to the franchise. I was firm yet cordial with my words and said that I would always be supportive of the cast and always root for the franchise to be successful, but that there was no chance I would return. I privately spoke with my partners at Universal as well, all of whom were very supportive as they understand the problem.

Vin's recent public post was an example of his manipulation. I didn't like that he brought up his children in the post, as well as Paul Walker's death. Leave them out of it. We had spoken months ago about this and came to a clear understanding. My goal all along was to end my amazing journey with this incredible 'Fast & Furious' franchise with gratitude and grace. It's unfortunate that this public dialogue has muddied the waters. Regardless, I'm confident in the 'Fast' universe and its ability to consistently deliver for the audience, and I truly wish my former co-stars and crew members the best of luck and success in the next chapter."

Vin's post below as context
My little brother Dwayne... the time has come. The world awaits the finale of Fast 10. As you know, my children refer to you as Uncle Dwayne in my house. There is not a holiday that goes by that they and you don't send well wishes... but the time has come. Legacy awaits. I told you years ago that I was going to fulfill my promise to Pablo. I swore that we would reach and manifest the best Fast in the finale that is 10! I say this out of love... but you must show up, do not leave the franchise idle you have a very important role to play. Hobbs can't be played by no other. I hope that you rise to the occasion and fulfill your destiny

Sounds like Vin should have known his role and shut his mouth.

Vin Diesel tried to cut a wrestling promo against a former wrestler. What a dumb attempt to guilt him into coming back.

Vin Diesels career should have died in the early 2000s after the second or third movie. The franchise is a joke and so are any actors hanging onto it.

Yeah they havn't liked each other in ages. Basically the studio tried to push Vin out of the franchise and replace him with Dwayne.

No, 5 is the best movie in the series and 6 was good too. The rest of them are awful though

My little brother Dwayne is hilarious to me for some reason.

I'm glad he actually called him out though. When I saw the post originally, I got the same vibe.

I dont think I agree with any of the Vin Diesel hate here. I just see this as Vin pushing it for the fans.

Is it a little pathetic? Sure. Big time. Not a reason to like him less, in my stupid opinion.

The Rock is only going to be in movies that he produces now, as far as I can tell.

Also, I don't give a shit if millionaires want to act like middle schoolers on social media.

Theres nothing VINdictive about it, he wants the dude to come back and play the role and states theres others that want it too

Like when are you not manipulated in this life by something? Theres external factors that exist including people who are dead or alive who want to see him in the movies

Restating that just is what it is, manipulation is far too strong of a word here

Using the death of a mutual friend in a desperate "BUT THOU MUST" is definitely manipulative, yes.

His instagram post was definitely manipulative. Going public with the death of a close friend and bringing the kids into it just because you know him being in the movie will make it more money. If he was genuine about it go talk to him like a man. His post read like a bitter toxic ex trying to make themselves look good. The rock cant win. He says no hes the bad guy after that emotional speech, he says yes and he likely knows Vin got his way via manipulation and really didnt care.
