Johnson also confirmed the news when a reporter asked him about the return after a press conference for his upcoming film "San Andreas". "Of course. Can't go on without Hobbs."
Johnson also commented on a possible spinoff for his character. "We all are interested in it," Johnson said. "I just had a big conversation with the studio, so we'll see. I still think for me personally, we create a little bit of space from seven and gauge what the audience will want and go from there. That's my take on it. Now a lot of other people have their own say."
You can catch Johnson next in "San Andreas" due out on May 29.
