Johnson then told CNN that he made it very clear to Vin Diesel that he never intends to return to the franchise. Moreover, The Red Notice actor called Vin Diesel’s public plea for Johnson’s return a manipulation. He said, “Vin’s recent public post was an example of his manipulation. I didn’t like that he brought up his children in the post, as well as Paul Walker’s death. Leave them out of it. We had spoken months ago about this and came to a clear understanding.”
