Vin Diesel's On-Set Conflicts: A History of Tensions

Diesel has been involved in conflicts with fellow cast members on multiple occasions. One of the most famous feuds was with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, which became public through an explosive Instagram video in 2016. The video showed behind-the-scenes footage of a fight scene, and Johnson called out unidentified male co-stars, later revealed to be Diesel. The post has been deleted, but other cast members like Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Scott Eastwood, Kurt Russell, and Jason Statham also expressed their discontent.

Fortunately, the feud between Diesel and Johnson has been resolved, and The Rock will be returning to the franchise for 'Fast X'. It's unclear if Hobbs and Dom will share the screen in the upcoming movie. The Rock's recent projects, like Black Adam, received mixed reviews and didn't perform well at the box office. His next film, Red One, will be available exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. So, his return to the Fast saga might be influenced more by financial considerations than resolving issues with Diesel.
