Vin Diesel Confirms Fast and Furious to Conclude with a Trilogy, Not Two Movies
Rev up your engines, Fast and Furious fans, as star and producer Vin Diesel drops an exciting bombshell during the movie’s red carpet event in Rome. In a surprising twist, it seems Universal Pictures has made a strategic decision to transform Fast X into a gripping trilogy, extending the adrenaline-fueled saga beyond the initially planned two movies.
During the event, Diesel shared the studio’s proposition, recalling their request to expand the Fast X narrative into a trilogy. “Going into making this movie, the studio asked if this could be a two-parter. After the studio saw Part 1, they said, ‘Could you make Fast X: The Finale a trilogy?'” Diesel revealed, leaving the audience in awe. Co-star Michelle Rodriguez chimed in, emphasizing the significance of three acts in any compelling story.
As Diesel trailed off, he playfully expressed concern, stating, “I’m gonna get in trouble here.” However, let’s not forget that Diesel’s revelation is more likely a calculated move to generate additional excitement and buzz surrounding the Fast series. After all, what better way to heighten anticipation than by expanding the epic finale to a thrilling trilogy?
Fast X embarked on its production journey in April 2022 but encountered unexpected speed bumps when director Justin Lin, a long-time collaborator of the franchise, departed the project abruptly. Stepping in to keep the Fast momentum alive is Louis Leterrier, known for his work on The Incredible Hulk and Netflix’s live-action Lupin.
The star-studded cast of Fast X includes Diesel, Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, and Sung Kang. Joining this high-octane ensemble are newcomers Brie Larson (Captain Marvel), Jason Momoa (Aquaman), and Daniela Melchior (The Suicide Squad), along with the legendary Rita Moreno (West Side Story) portraying Dom’s grandmother.
Prepare yourselves for an adrenaline-pumping trilogy that will take the Fast and Furious franchise to new heights. Stay tuned for more updates as the final installment hurtles towards the big screen, promising to deliver breathtaking action, heart-pounding thrills, and the exhilarating conclusion fans have been eagerly awaiting.
