As noted, The Rock announced today that Roman Reigns will have a role in the “Hobbs & Shaw” Fast-spinoff movie that hits theaters in August of this year. Reigns will play Rock’s brother.

Reigns took to Instagram today and commented on the role. He wrote, “The time I‘ve spent with my cousin on this wonderful island has truly been a healing grace. I am grateful to the @wwe @therock @universalpictures and everyone on the set of HOBBS & SHAW, for allowing me to be a part of this franchise.”

Reigns also noted that the support from everyone has pushed him to get back into the WWE ring as soon as possible.

You can see Reigns’ full post with comments below, along with the photos and the original post from The Rock:

Family Healing!

I cannot thank my family, friends and my new FAST & FURIOUS FAMILY enough for all the love and support I have received while on this exciting HOBBS & SHAW project.

The time I‘ve spent with my cousin on this wonderful island has truly been a healing grace. I am grateful to the @wwe @therock @universalpictures and everyone on the set of HOBBS & SHAW, for allowing me to be a part of this franchise.

All of your outreach and support has been a blessing and it’s only pushed me to get back in the ring as soon as possible.

But until then…I’m excited for this movie to premiere this summer, our culture and mana in this film is strong! @hhgarcia41

The Brothers Roar.
A lil’ HOBBS & SHAW exclusive.
Good times droppin’ sweat and spillin’ blood with my family, Roman Reigns who’ll be playing my brother in our FAST & FURIOUS UNIVERSE.
I’m very proud of his focus, effort and authentic performance in our movie for his very first time on film.
I’m also very grateful to spend this quality time with my cousin here in the islands as he takes life one day at a time to recover from leukemia.
His perseverance and humility battling this challenge has inspired our entire family as well as millions around the world in our beloved @WWE Universe.
Can’t wait to see the “Big Dog” return back to the ring – his positive & focused mindset to return is straight up next level.
Til’ then, this sacred Samoan ground you stand on is nourished with our ancestors blood.
Today, we nourish it with yours.
