Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to Return in Next Fast and Furious Film

It has been revealed by Vin Diesel that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will be returning for the eighth installment of the Fast and Furious franchise. He made the confirmation at CinemaCon.

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.
