Fast & Furiousstar Vin Diesel shares an update on the franchise’s plan for an endgame, including how many more movies there will be and Dwayne Johnson’s return as Luke Hobbs. After the first installment back in 2001, Diesel returned as Dom Toretto last year forFast X, the tenth installment in the Fast Saga.Fast X: Part 2is now confirmedto be on the way (and is seemingly in production) and a Hobbs spinoff movie was announced last year, but it remains unclear just how many more movies there will actually be in the franchise.
Dieselnow takes to Instagram to share a new update on the plans for the end of theFast & Furiousfranchise, revealing, essentially, that it may not yet be set in stone. According to the star and producer,there’s continued interest from Comcast in there being aFast & Furious 12, in addition to the plannedFast X: Part 2.
On top of hinting thatFast X: Part 2could be targeting a March 2026 release date, Diesel reveals thathe and franchise writer Chris Morgan are interested in a Dom and Hobbs reunion on screen, an update that accompanies an image of the two characters during the filming ofFast Five(2011). To cap off his post, Diesel voices his interest in getting back to more grounded action sequences and “real street racing.” Check out Diesel’s post below:
“I got universal in one ear saying we need FastX2 by March 2026,” writes Diesel in his caption. “I have Concast [sic] in the other ear saying we need two movies to be the Finale! Then the writer on Fast Five sent me this image and said we need to see DOM and HOBBS resolve their differences. I just want to get back to real street racing, practical stunts… and a reunion of that beautiful brotherhood.”
What Diesel’s Post Means For Fast & Furious' Future
When Will The Saga Actually End?
Fast X: Part 2has been positioned as the franchise’s finale, but Diesel did tease around the release ofFast Xlast year that it could be a three-part finale instead of a two-part one. One of the reasons why it may not be confirmed yet, one way or the other, is becauseFast Xreviewsand box office performance were underwhelming. The film, which was made on a massive reported budget of $340 million, grossed about $705 million worldwide, which meansit wasn’t more than a modest success commercially.
Fast X Set Up Dom & Letty’s Perfect Ending (& Showed How The Franchise Will Continue)
A throwaway gag from Fast X could have laid the groundwork for Dom and Letty’s ending in the series (and how the franchise could return.)
IfFast X: Part 2and a twelfth installment can be made at lower budget levels, there’s a good chance they can be profitable, which could explain why Comcast is pushing for two more movies instead of just one. WithHobbs’Fast & Furiousspinoff moviealso in the works,there could end up being three more movies in the franchise. Arecent comment from Morganregarding the Hobbs spinoff painted an uncertain picture of the film and its status, and, taken with Diesel’s post, it looks like there’s still a lot being decided aboutFast & Furious' future.
After sitting outF9: The Fast Saga(2021) and seemingly departing the franchise following apublic feud with Diesel, Johnson returned as Hobbs for theFast Xpost-credits scene.
What’s more, Diesel recently revealed on Instagram thatfilming forFast X: Part 2is now underway. His latest update about the franchise’s future and how many more movies are coming could suggest that the upcoming movie is currently filming without a completed script, which could be worrying.
Our Take On Diesel’s Fast & Furious Update
It’s Time For Dom’s Last Ride
After the ridiculous action sequences inFast XandF9: The Fast Saga, it’s reassuring that Diesel wants to return to more grounded street racing. Despite this positive direction, making three moreFast & Furiousmovies sounds like too many. The franchise has felt like it’s running out of gas in recent installments, suggesting it might be best to make a Hobbs spinoff and then end things on high note withFast X: Part 2.
