Henry Cavill Speculated to Join DC Stars in Fast And Furious
Dwayne Johnson has constantly claimed that he would never return as Hobbs in the popular Fast and Furious franchise after his last appearance in the 2019 film Hobbs and Shaw. However, the Black Adam star stunned fans with his surprise appearance in the mid-credits of Fast X.

With his appearance in the mid-credits, it is speculated that Johnson could join Dominic and his crew in the next film and help them go against their new enemy, Dante. Gal Gadot, who joined the franchise as Gisele Yashar in Fast Five, also returned right before the credits roll, hinting that she would also join Dominic Toretto’s fight against Jason Momoa’s Dante Reyes.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods actress Helen Mirren also portrays an ally of Dom. Jason Momoa will surely reprise his villainous characters in the next film. And with all the DC stars joining the action-adventure franchise, many are now rooting for Henry Cavill to do the same.
