“He can’t get in shape in time, that’s what you all tell me.”

It was Jason Momoa that filled in the role of another hunk male but in an antagonistic way. Talking about his experience while shooting, Jason Momoa stated that Vin Diesel was a pretty chill guy although he expected more drama from him.
“I was expecting there to be a lot of – I mean, to be completely honest – drama, and you’re like, ‘I want nothing to do with this.’ But I saw nothing of the sort. It was amazing. Everyone was so supportive. I had a ball with Vin. I was just shocked at how cool everyone was. No one was jaded; everyone was just really, really happy to be there,”
This could potentially indicate that Vin Diesel might not have been as difficult to work with as Dwayne Johnson made him out to be. With multiple movies and projects lined up for the actor, The Rock will make his appearance in the upcoming movie Red One which is slated for a release date of sometime in 2023.
