The Fast & Furious film series may continue beyond its previous finale, with star Vin Diesel hinting at the possibility of two additional films in development. In a recent social media post, Diesel hinted at current franchise conversations that could lead to the popular action series being expanded.
Despite a $340 million production budget, “Fast X,” the franchise’s ninth film, grossed almost $705 million globally. Universal Studios is pushing for “Fast X: Part 2” in March 2026, while Comcast offers two films to wrap up the franchise.
Fans may be particularly excited about the return of Dwayne Johnson’s character, Luke Hobbs. Following a public feud that resulted in his absence from a previous film, Johnson made a post-credits scene appearance in “Fast X,” implying a possible reconciliation with Diesel’s character, Dominic Toretto.
Diesel wants to return to the franchise’s original street racing roots, prioritizing more practical stunts over previous films’ increasingly intricate action sequences. This proposed change could reenergize the series for long-time fans.
Preliminary filming for “Fast X: Part 2” has started. However, the lack of a finalized script has prompted speculation regarding the film’s direction and the franchise’s future.
Industry experts and fans are now speculating whether the Fast & Furious series can successfully reinvent itself or if it’s time to end the high-energy franchise definitively. The subsequent installments will most likely determine the series’ long-term viability.
