Vin Diesel has responded to the controversy surrounding Fast & Furious 9, saying on Instagram that "it's unfair" to blame anybody for the next film in the immensely-popular franchise being postponed until 2020.
Specifically, Diesel was replying to costar Tyrese Gibson, who took a shot at Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, blaming Johnson for the postponement.
This is not the first controversy to arise since Johnson joined the franchise as Luke Hobbs in Fast Five. In the past, there have been rumors about Johnson and Diesel not seeing eye to eye. However, despite this fact, Diesel has come to the defense of Johnson in this moment.
Johnson and Jason Statham are working on a spinoff from the Fast & Furious franchise that has been slated for 2019. This is where the "blame" comes from the likes of Tyrese. Diesel doesn't see it that way, though.
Diesel posted a photo on Instagram of himself and Johnson as Dominic Toretto and Hobbs. He started the caption by writing, "Brotherhood... and all it's (sic) complexities." Then, later, he took the controversy straight on, saying "the franchise is in need of maintenance."
So while there are those who are blaming Johnson for Fast & Furious 9 not arriving as soon as anticipated, don't count Diesel among them.
Chris Morgan is the author of The Comic Galaxy of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and The Ash Heap of History. Wisely or not, he's also on Twitter.
