Fast 11 needs a streamlined approach, shedding excess characters and bloated plots to regain momentum. The franchise has evolved significantly since Fast Five, but Hobbs&#8217; return may be crucial to its future success. Dwayne &#8220;The Rock&#8221; Johnson&#8217;s first appearance in the Fast and Furious saga drove it to new heights, but over a decade on, can he do it all again? The Rock was such a charismatic presence during his WWE days that he felt like a natural fit for movie stardom &#8211; but it was a long road to get there. Most of his early star vehicles like The Rundown underperformed, and he was soon relegated to mediocre kids&#8217; movies like The Tooth Fairy.
