What began as an earnest movie about street racing has evolved into a globe-trotting franchise about adrenaline-pumping automobiles and the importance of family. But the failure of ‘Fast X’ could be the end of the road for the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise. Vin Diesel is upset with how the film has massively underperformed at the box office. But he’s incensed by the fact that critics and the audience loved Jason Momoa.
Jason Momoa joined the ‘Fast X‘ cast as Dante Reyes, the hyper-driven antagonist. He’s hell-bent on destroying everyone near and dear to Vin Dielsel’s Dominic Toretto. He’s the son of Herman Reyes, the antagonist from the ‘Fast Five.’ Momoa’s presence in the movie has been lauded for its pure flamboyance. Vin Diesel is upset about Momoa getting all the attention.
Vin Diesel Is Reportedly Jealous Of His ‘Fast X’ Co-Star Jason Momoa
Despite getting all the star power for ‘Fast X,’ the throttle wasn’t loud enough to make an impact. Vin Diesel is upset with the poor reception of the latest film in the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise. Sources have reported that Vin Diesel‘s grudge stems from many critics praising Jason Momoa in an otherwise panned film.
A well-embedded source has confirmed Diesel’s jealousy, telling RadarOnline, “Vin is embarrassed Jason is being branded the only bright spot in the film and stealing his thunder in the franchise he built himself. Jason knows he’s the flavor of the moment, and Vin’s jealous of him. But he doesn’t appreciate Vin trying to poison the public against him. This has the potential to be Hollywood’s next biggest feud.”

Vin Diesel Public Feud With Dwayne Johnson
Before Jason Mamoa, Vin Diesel feuded with Dwayne Johnson. Johnson, who joined the franchise with the 2017 movie ‘The Fate Of The Furious,’ didn’t get along with Diesel. The new few months would see them engaging in ridiculous psychological warfare through cryptic social media posts.
Dwayne Johnson got his spin-off with ‘Hobbs And Shaw,’ with Jason Statham. But he still left the franchise, saying there was no bad blood between him and his co-stars. However, in a 2018 Rolling Stones cover story, Vin Diesel revealed that the two separately shot the scenes in which they were meant to share the screen.
