Vin Diesel Teases 12th ‘Fast and Furious’ Installment
Written by SOURCE on May 13, 2023
It seems the Fast and Furious franchise has plenty of gas left in the tank.
During a recent interview with Fandango, Vin Diesel revealed there’s been discussion about a 12th F&F installment. The 55-year-old actor dropped the news during a red carpet premiere for Fast X, which has been billed as the franchise’s penultimate entry. However, Diesel — who stars in and produces the action flicks — said Universal Pictures had proposed closing the saga with a trilogy.
“As filmmakers, you want to allow people to enjoy the film without tipping the hat too much,” he told Fandago when asked about the future of his F&F character, Dominic Toretto. “I can say this: Going into making this movie, the studio had asked if this could be a two-parter. And after the studio saw this, part one, they said, ‘Could you make Fast X, the finale, a trilogy?’”
“It’s three acts in any story,” added Michelle Rodriguez, Diesel’s longtime co-star.
When asked if they were confirming a 12th film, Diesel said, “We probably are,” before he and Rodriguez scurried away.
The Fast and Furious franchise kicked off in 2001 and has since become one of the highest-grossing franchises of all time.
Fast X, which will hit U.S. theaters on May 19, is believed to be the fourth-most expensive film ever made, as it had a reported production budget of $340 million. The film was directed by Louis Leterrier and co-stars Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Jason Momoa, Jordana Brewster, and Jason Statham.
