The post-credits scene in the next movie "Fast X" features Dwayne Johnson, better known by his stage name The Rock, who has unexpectedly returned to the "Fast and Furious" series.
Johnson had previously made it clear that he would not be returning to the show and had made this choice public.
Given the public spat between Johnson and franchise star Vin Diesel, who had pleaded for Johnson to return, the homecoming is unexpected.
Johnson's involvement in the franchise has been profitable financially because his character enhances the show and raises viewership.
With movies like "Fast Five," "Fast & Furious 6," and "Furious 7," which made hundreds of millions or billions of dollars globally, the franchise enjoyed enormous success.
Diesel's desire to cooperate with Johnson suggests a burying of the hatchet and an understanding of how crucial cooperation is to the franchise's success.
Johnson's return to the franchise follows inconsistent showings in recent movies, and joining one of Hollywood's most successful franchises might help him find his composure.
