WWE star Roman Reigns joins Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in 'Fast and Furious' spinoff film

The upcoming Fast & Furious spinoff Hobbs and Shaw, will now have another pro-wrestler to add to its cast list, Roman Reigns. 

Dwayne Johnson announced the news on his Instagram Friday, writing,

"Good times droppin’ sweat and spillin’ blood with my family, Roman Reigns who’ll be playing my brother in our FAST & FURIOUS UNIVERSE."

exclusive. Good times droppin' sweat and spillin' blood with my family, Roman Reigns who'll be playing my brother in our FAST & FURIOUS UNIVERSE. I'm very proud of his focus, effort and authentic performance in our movie for his very first time on film. I'm also very grateful to spend this quality time with my cousin here in the islands as he takes life one day at a time to recover from leukemia. His perseverance and humility battling this challenge has inspired our entire family as well as millions around the world in our beloved @WWE Universe. Can't wait to see the 'Big Dog' return back to the ring - his positive & focused mindset to return is straight up next level. Til' then, this sacred Samoan ground you stand on is nourished with our ancestors blood. Today, we nourish it with yours."

Interestingly, it's now been revealed that Hobbs & Shaw will introduce new family members for both of its namesakes. Johnson previously confirmed that Vanessa Kirby (Mission: Impossible - Fallout) is playing Shaw's sister and M:I 6 agent Hattie in the film, and it's possible other members of the mercenary's family will briefly pop in too, as Deckard's mom Magdalene (Helen Mirren) and brother Owen (Luke Evans) did in Fate of the Furious. As for the Hobbs clan: it was reported last summer that Hobbs' daughter is being recast for the spinoff, but there hasn't been an update on the subject since then. Perhaps The Rock will clear things up in the near future?
