If the Hobbs was the perfect Fast And Furious antagonist, with the Diplomatic Security Service agent pursuing Dom and his crew like a Terminator.
Both the sequel and Johnson's Fast Five performance were praised, with the actor soon scoring big hits outside of the franchise too. Johnson appeared in every main entry until 2017's Hobbs & Shaw 2.
While F9 revealed Dom and Mia had an estranged brother, with John Cena's Jakob having become a covert operative turned ruthless mercenary in the years since they lost track of him. He ends F9 on the run after being given a second chance by Dom, but if the authorities want him found, Hobbs would be the best man for the job.
Hobbs is not only considered a legend in his field, he has a history running down fugitive of the Toretto clan. While the spinoffs are intended to be separate from the mainline entries, it feels like a Hobbs & Shaw 2 dealing with the latter's messy "Justice for Han" situation, and the former hunting down Jakob has potential. There's also just the appeal of seeing Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and John Cena - two WWE icons - brawling with each other on the big screen, which would surely be enough to sell tickets on its own.
Johnson's Hobbs and Diesel's Dom didn't reunite and hug it out, and having the former chasing Jakob would be the best way to bring him on a collision course with the Toretto family.
