Dwayne Johson already confirmed he will not return to the Fast & Furious franchise, apart from the eventual sequel to his spin-off Hobbs and Shaw, in which he starred alongside Jason Statham. Although Hobbs will not return, Shaw will! In a recent post on Instagram, Fast X star Chris Ludacris Bridges confirmed that Jason Statham will return as Deckard Shaw in the upcoming tenth installment of the saga, which is currently in production.

Statham debuted as Deckard Shaw, brother of Luke Evans’ Owen Shaw, in the post-credit scene of the Fast & Furious 6. He was the main villain in the seventh installment, and he also reprised the role in the eighth installment and the spin-off of Hobbs and Shaw. Although he was absent from the latest F9, Statham appeared in the post-credit scene, in which he was beating the character played by the Bosnian-Herzegovinian actor Miraj Grbić. At the end of the scene, Sung Kang’s Han paid Shaw a visit, and Shaw was evidently shocked to see him.

In the latest post on Instagram, Chris Ludacris Bridges, who plays the role of Tej Parker, shared a video on the set in which he was accompanied by Statham, confirming Statham’s return. You can check the video below:

Jason Statham is one of the most known action stars in Hollywood. He is most known for the role of Frank Martin in The Transporter trilogy, and he also starred in known action movies The Mechanic, The Expendables, and The Meg. He is set to return in the upcoming sequels Meg 2: The Trench, and The Expendables 4. Louis Leterrier, who worked with Statham on the first two Transporter movies, is directing the upcoming Fast & Furious movie after Justin Lin stepped down.

Fast X is set to be released on May 19, 2023.

Lukas Abramovich is a freelance writer and photo and video editor based in Croatia. He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
