I doubt it. Statham wasn't even part of the story until the FF6 post credit scene.
Wait what
There has been talk of Hobbs getting his own spinoff since Fast Five.

Is this sarcasm?
Vin Diesel's filmography from 2009 onwards:
The Rock's filmography from 2009 onwards:
Also I like how you put down Saving Private Ryan as an "action franchise". Unless my sarcasm detector is genuinely broken.
I mean, if for whatever reason you have to restrict it specifically to that time period the Rock did make more movies than Vin, but according to those lists Vin made better movies on average. Vin is like a B- action star and Rock is a C++ action star and the extra + is for all the effort he puts in. Also Vin has a magnetic screen presence and various things on the side like breakdancing and video games. Also Vin Diesel doesn't even have time to do Fast Furious spinoffs because he isn't phoning in his appearances in the mainline films like Rock.

2009 until now is a pretty relevant period of time. Moreso than trying to act as if a movie that Vin Diesel did in 1998 is in any way relevant to the topic at hand.
Yeah, at this point, your post comes across as satire. Well done. Anyone who claims that Vin Diesel doesn't phone it in, well, I can't really take them too seriously.

This should be in the cringe thread. Jesus
I was wondering why Tyrese was targeting the Rock specifically and not the studio. Still stupid.
They didn't get paid for their films?! Should probably sue.
The actors got their payout, if it was up to them what happens to the franchise we wouldn't be having this discussion.
They're pissed because they feel like the own something they don't, and are owed something they're not.

He grew hair for Find Me Guilty and almost permanently derailed his career because it was so hard to see him as an Adonis again after we saw him looking like Paulie from Sopranos. Vin Diesel is a serious actor who has been slumming it in action franchises, like Tom Cruise. Rock is a wrestler who can kind of act in very limited roles, like John Cena.

This is what happens when you're on that Hen & Yak and your boys don't keep you away from social media. You get caught in your feelings and spill all the little shit that gets you heated.
I wish you well Tyrese but be careful, this is all you got these days, man.

Found their banter mostly lame in the previous film, although I did still enjoy Statham.

Kill one of the fan favorite characters. Get a buddy cop spin off.

Well Statham and The Rock were the best part of Fast 8 to me, so glad this is coming out first.

This one gives it away man, sorry.
You clearly haven't watched Wild Card...

The cool thing about Fast Furious spinoffs is that there are less actors and they can all fit in one car. Usually it's everyone in their own car racing each other because they are Family and they are very competitive with each other, but there could be one where Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Gal Gadot, and Ludacris go on a road trip and drive slowly and just get to know each other.
All it gives away is that I'm a Vin Diesel superfan who bothered to watch and remember Find Me Guilty.
I saw The Pacifier in the theater God's honest truth.

Tyrese is serving Nikki Blonsky realness right now. Pretty soon it's gonna be "Hey The Rock, it's Tyrese Gibson from the movies 2 Fast 2 Furious and Ride Along 2, LOVE ur new spinoff, got a part 4 me??"

Na, he said he were offered a Roman/Tej movie but he decline.
The better news to this story is that Justin Lin may come back. Hope this mean they bring back Han from the grave.
that's fine
Tyrese has been boring as fuck since like 6.....its funny because 5 was the first movie the rock was in and it was the last time I even found Tyrese's character to be halfway enjoyable.
Maybe these spin offs will have better writing since Vin probably won't have anything to do with them production wise
ha, I don't think he even did that!
lol
Wasn't 2F2F already a Roman/Tej movie?

Vin would probably still make a appearance in the movie. Like he did in Tokyo Drift

LOL
That aint his hair
The problem with Diesel's career is that no one watches his dramatic films. He's already proven himself to be a good actor, but knows that they don't bring in the money.
It's like Adam Sandler or even Michael Caine: pop-culture, mainstream films pay way more than arthouse films. No one ever got rich from winning an Oscar.
I will put money on Statham being like "lol I didn't kill him, it was a ruse all along, we have been secretly working together for years"
Cyborg Han is still possible though

I was referring to modern Vin Diesel, not 11 Years Ago Vin Diesel. You specifically said that he doesn't phone in his performances in the Fast films. All you have to do is compare the performances between Rock and Diesel in them. RLM summed it up pretty well. The Rock should be the star of these films, not Diesel, who has no likeability/charm.

Statham actually saved Han by helping him fake his death so DK would stop chasing him.

Dangit, I knew it wasn't long enough.

I love how, in the context of the films, this makes no sense. Didn't Statham kill Hobb's brother?

its still nothing without his writing though. the strength of his movies (including the ones he didn't direct too) was always the writing for the comraderie
