Like most blockbusters these days, followers have to stay round because the credit roll to see if there’s a post-credits scene. Fast X’s sole post-credits scene after that surprising ending didn’t disappoint within the slightest and arrange a sure-to-be epic reunion in Fast 11. Let’s break down what precisely occurred within the Fast X post-credits scene.
A batch of armed officers lined in tactical gear swarms an enormous mansion. One of those officers heads right into a room alone the place a cellphone begins to ring. The officer picks up the cellphone, and Dante Reyes is on the opposite line. Turns out, Dante needs greater than revenge towards Dom. He needs to take down Agent Luke Hobbs, too.
While Dom and Brian helped take down Dante’s father, Hernan Reyes, it was Hobbs who truly killed him. Dante vows to make Hobbs undergo similar to he did with Dom. As we see in Fast X, Dante means what he says. “The devil is coming for you,” Dante guarantees. Suddenly, Hobbs crushes the cellphone.
Hobbs’ look within the Fast X post-credits scene confirms that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will return in Fast 11. This is a serious shift from what Dwayne had beforehand mentioned about his future with the Fast franchise.
Dwayne appeared in 4 Fast & Furious films, in addition to the spinoff Hobbs & Shaw, earlier than exiting the franchise amid a feud with Fast vet Vin Diesel.
Back in November 2021, Vin reached out to Dwayne on Instagram and requested him to return for Fast X. “My little brother Dwayne… the time has come, Vin began. “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.”
A month later, Dwayne responded to Vin’s message and shut down any hope on the time that he’d return to the Fast franchise. “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,” the actor advised CNN. “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.”
Time seems to have healed all wounds, and now the Fast household is stronger than ever. Hobbs and Dom (if he makes it out of Fast X unscathed) must work collectively to take down Dante as soon as and for all. Fast 11 is anticipated to be launched in 2025.
