As per a We Got This Covered report, when Dave Bautista was offered a part in Fast & Furious, he denied it. There were no reasons given for the same. But the clearest reason was Dwayne Johnson. This was the time when The Rock was a part of the main franchise and was on good terms with Vin Diesel. While there was no visible enmity between the two ever, the comments Dave made about The Rock indicated it.
