Vin Diesel confirms ‘Fast X’ trilogy in the making
The “Fast and Furious” franchise has been going strong since the first movie hit theaters in 2001. Over the years, the series has become known for its high-octane action, incredible stunts, and a cast of beloved characters. Now, fans are getting ready for the latest installment, “Fast X,” which is set to be released on May 19. And according to Vin Diesel, who stars in the film, it could be a trilogy.
In a recent interview with Fandango, Diesel revealed that the studio had initially asked if “Fast X” could be a two-part movie. But after seeing the first part, they asked if it could be a trilogy instead. Vin Diesel shared that the studio had initially suggested making the movie a two-part thriller. However, after the studio viewed the first part, they asked if Fast X, the finale, could instead be a trilogy. Diesel’s co-star, Michelle Rodriguez, added that “It’s 3X in any story,” implying that a trilogy was always the plan. However, when asked directly if he was confirming the trilogy, Diesel was hesitant to give a definitive answer, saying, “I don’t want to get in trouble here.”
Fast X was originally slated as a two-part thriller to end the long-running street racing series saga. The franchise has come a long way since the first movie, which was a modest hit that spawned six sequels and a spin-off. The series has become known for its wild car chases, incredible stunts, and a cast of beloved characters.
In recent years, the franchise has undergone a bit of a reboot, with new characters being introduced and the series shifting away from street racing and towards more action-packed heist scenarios. But the heart of the series remains the same: a group of friends who will do anything to protect each other and their loved ones. One of the most emotional moments in the series came with the death of Paul Walker, who played Brian O’Conner. Walker died in a car crash in 2013, during the filming of “Furious 7.” The movie was completed using a combination of CGI and body doubles and was dedicated to Walker’s memory.
Vin Diesel has previously spoken about the importance of giving Walker’s character a proper goodbye in the series. Previously, Vin Diesel had emphasized the significance of paying tribute to Paul Walker’s character in the series. In an interview with Total Film, the actor acknowledged the difficult time the world had experienced following the tragic death of the actor in 2013. Vin Diesel praised the studio for its bold and righteous decision to keep O’Conner’s character alive and disclosed that the series couldn’t possibly end without giving Brian O’Conner a heartfelt goodbye.
