I'll be seeing you soon, Toretto," Johnson said referring to Diesel's F&F character.The rift between the two stars began in 2016, during production of The Fate of the Furious, when Johnson referred to some of his male coworkers as "candy a**es" who lacked professionalism.Johnson has already revealed that he won't be starring in the upcoming ninth installment in the Fast & Furious franchise.
