Rodney Dangerfield
Doesn’t matter
Can confirm.From what little I've read about the movie, apparently he is not dead. Just in a long-term exile kinda situation
It's a another cash grab by Vin Diesel. Didn't want to be in the second film, and now back for the third 12 years later.
If he was dead he wouldn't be in it.
I don't know this for certain but I'm pretty confident.
