In October 2018, Moritz filed a lawsuit against Universal Pictures in Los Angeles County Superior Court for breach of oral contract and committing promissory fraud after the distributor removed him as lead producer on Hobbs & Shaw. On September 2, 2020, the California Court of Appeal for the Second Appellate District filed a published opinion affirming the trial court's denial of Universal's motion to compel arbitration of Moritz's claims. On September 10, 2020, it was reported that the parties had reached an amicable settlement. Moritz went on to receive producer credit for the 2021 film F9 and the 2023 film Fast X.
