After news of the spin-off became public, co-stars Michelle Rodriguez (Letty Ortiz) and Tyrese Gibson (Roman Pearce) publicly criticized it for damaging the Fast & Furious "family", as well as pushing back the release of F9: The Fast Saga (2021) by at least a year. Plans to actually develop the spin-off were informally green-lit towards the end of filming and they were later revealed to be the reason behind the much-discussed animosity that emerged between Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson in the final week of production, which resulted in Diesel reportedly canceling some of Johnson's scenes (which was within his purview as one of the movie's producers), and not showing up for filming at all on at least one day of production, leaving hundreds of cast and crew sitting idle. The idea of a "Fast & Furious" spin-off featuring Hobbs and Shaw first emerged during filming of The Fate of the Furious (2017), after producers and studio executives took note of the comedic chemistry between the two throughout their scenes together.
