Although reviews for The Fate of the Furious have been mixed leading toward positive, one unanimously agreed upon high point is the camaraderie and banter between the characters of Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham. They’re so good that apparently, Vin Diesel got a post-credits scene centered on the two cut from the final version of the film, although that didn’t prevent Universal from confirming a spinoff film with the two action stars.
Either way, we will be getting to eventually see the two duke it out one epic fight, as towards the end of an Instagram post thanking those responsible for the success of The Fate of the Furious, Johnson stated: “And finally, a very very special shout out to a certain bald headed, English tea drinkin’, crumpets eatin’, God Save The Queen singin’ suuuuuum bitch, Jason Statham. One fine day, we will give the audience what they want and fight. And it will be the greatest fight in the history of movies. We will then drink like brothers as you nurse your wounds, because I’m gonna knock your teeth so far down your throat, you’re gonna have to stick a toothbrush up your ass to brush ’em. Thanks for trusting me brotha and cheers to always having fun for audience.”
