WowKeren - Film "Fast and Furious 9" akhirnya dijadwalkan rilis perdana pada 10 April 2020 mendatang. Jadwal ini sebenarnya mengalami penundaan karena sempat direncanakan rilis pada 19 April 2019 mendatang.

Penundaan jadwal rilis pun membuat fans sedih karena harus menunggu lebih lama. Tak hanya itu, konflik juga sempat muncul saat Tyrese Gibson memberi peringatan keras pada Dwayne Johnson melalui akun Instagram pribadinya. Tyrese sempat terlihat kesal dengan Dwayne yang tampak lebih fokus pada produksi spinn-off "Fast and Furious" untuk kisah karakter Luke Hobbs.

Vin Diesel melalui akun Instagramnya pun buka suara terkait masalah ini. Vin mengunggah foto adegan bersama Dwayne dan menulis bahwa penundaan ini bukan salah siapa pun. "Aku tahu banyak spekulasi terkait jadwal rilis 'Fast 9' yang ditunda. Tapi sangat tidak adil jika kita menyalahkan seseorang," kata Vin.

Brotherhood... and all it's complexities. This scene was filmed in Puerto Rico, I can remember it like it was yesterday. Such a beautiful island, the people were so warm and welcoming. I turned 43 that summer... and my son Vincent was born. A woman named Jan Kelly responded to a question I had asked on Facebook, 'who they would like to see me work with?' She said would love to see me work with Dwayne... I listened to her request and he became Hobbs. I know there has been a lot of speculation as to why the Fast 9 release date was pushed... but it would be unfair to say it is anyone's fault. As we plot the course to expand the Fast & Furious universe, one must be mindful to take stock of the roads we took to get here. The pillars of authenticity, family and most importantly, our loyal fan’s perspective has been instrumental in procuring success. However, like any vehicle that has run around the globe 8 times, the franchise is in need of maintenance. My good friend and the godfather of Universal, Ron Meyer has granted me the time to do just that. We have some very exciting news to share soon... stay tuned. Yours truly, Dom #FamilyAlways

Vin mengingatkan bahwa orang-orang harus sadar jalan panjang yang telah ditempuh hingga sampai di posisi ini. Semua itu didukung dengan keaslian, keluarga, dan yang terpenting adalah pendapat fans setia yang berperan dalam kesuksesan semua ini. "Namun seperti kendaraan yang telah keliling dunia selama 8 kali, hal ini butuh perawatan," kata Vin. Aktor pemeran Dom Toretto juga mengaku bahwa dia segera memberikan kabar gembira.

Sementara itu, hingga kini pihak produksi Universal Pictures tidak menjelaskan alasan sebenarnya dibalik penundaan jadwal rilis "Fast nad Furious 9" tersebut. Bagi fans "Fast and Furious", nantikan seri ke-9 dan film spinn-off tentang tokoh Luke ini ya.
