The 'Fast & Furious' actor wants his co-star to keep things in the family amid rumors of an Agent Hobbs standalone movie.
Tyrese Gibson wants Dwayne Johnson to keep it in the family.
The Fast & Furious actor went off on his co-star in a since-deleted Instagram comment on a post of Johnson’s, where Johnson appears to be signing a contract, imploring him not to let a rumored spinoff film starring Johnson’s character, Agent Hobbs, push back the planned release date of Fast 9.
“I’m simply trying to reach him cause he won’t call me back about this solo #HobbsMovie,” Gibson wrote in the lengthy comment. “I want you to shoot it just not right now cause the #Fast9 release date has already been announced.”
“Didn’t you see how HUGE #Fast8 was?? It’s because we announced and KEPT our release date bro,” the 38-year-old actor added. “We can’t let our loyal fans #FastFamily or our loyal ‘Fast & Furious’ FANS down on any level from pushing the date.”
“I apologize for being loyal but damn it I am,” Gibson ended the post.
“I never go public with private family issues,” Gibson explained for why he aired this grievance on Instagram. “Once you hit me back I will delete every post.”
Given that Gibson’s comment was eventually deleted, we can only hope the two connected and sorted things out.

Fast 9 is currently set to hit theaters on April 19, 2019.
Of course, this is not the first time the Fast Family has addressed their internal issues over social media.
Last year, Gibson responded to Johnson’s own Instagram rant over apparent on-set rifts with Vin Diesel.
