In 2017, Gibson threatened to quit the long-running franchise if Johnson remained on board.
Yet in October 2019, Gibson said on “The Wendy Williams Show” he’s back for May 2020’s “Fast & Furious 9.” There, he confirmed The Rock is not in the sequel.
Meanwhile, Elba has been in and around Atlanta shooting the follow-up to “Suicide Squad.” He’s said to be taking over the role of Deadshot, played by Will Smith in the 2016 release. In November, photographers snapped Elba soaking in a Hawks game against the Toronto Raptors. The Hawks fell to the Raptors 119-116.
