When it comes to Fast and Furious, yes. Yes he is.
The same way Will Smith is with Bad Boys.
The same way Ice Cube is with Friday.
The same way Tom Cruise is with Mission Impossible.
The same way Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan were with Rush Hour.
The same way Lethal Weapon was Danny Glover and Mel Gibson's shyt.
The same way Die Hard was Bruce Willis' shyt.
The same way Rocky was Stallone's shyt.
Why would anyone that worked on any of these OG films let a new actor come in and have more say than the OG actors that made those franchises. Are you even comprehending what you're writing?
You talking about loyalty when some new cat is conspiring with the studio to steal a movie series away from you.
Tyrese and Luda are OG cast too. Way more than the Rock is. They came on in 2003.
You sounding like a dikkrider to be honest. Rock the best part? FOH. Those movies made almost a billion dollars collectively without Rock. The Rock didn't turn the franchise into a billion dollar brand. Switching to an James Bond/Ocean's 11 style, bringing in multiple actors (not just the Rock), filming in dope locations and making the cast diverse did that. If Rock had the star power like that, his career wouldn't have been so garbage from 1999 to 2010. But no....he was starring in The Gridiron Gang
And let me stop you right there. If the Rock wasn't a part of Fast 5, Fast 6 and Fast 7, nikkas would've still went to go see those movies
Those movies wouldve continued on
But if Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and the rest of the OG cast weren't a part of the last five movies, the series would've died.
