Universal Pictures has set April 7, 2023 for the premiere of
Fast & Furious 10, according to Entertainment Weekly. The follow-up to
June’s Fast & Furious 9, the film is set to be the penultimate instalment
in the franchise.
Fast & Furious 10 will be directed by franchise regular
Justin Lin, who helmed Fast 9. It is expected to bring back its main cast, led
by Vin Diesel, who has also served as the series’ producer since 2009’s Fast
& Furious.
While it’s unclear if Fast & Furious 9 star John Cena
will return, it was reported last month that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will no
longer appear in any Fast & Furious films.
Diesel previously confirmed with Entertainment Weekly that
filming will commence in January 2022, with production running back-to-back
with its final instalment, Fast & Furious 11. He has also said that rapper
Cardi B, who appeared in Fast 9, will return for the next film.
Lin also previously discussed in an interview the logistics
of ending the franchise with the two films. “I think part of it for me is to
know that we’re not treating this as one film. I mean there’s a lot we’re
exploring,” he told Collider.
“I think we’re exploring this idea of sibling rivalry and
conflict, family by blood for the first time on [Fast & Furious 9]. And to
be able to do that but also at the same time bring a lot of these characters
back, there’s a lot going on. I feel good talking to you now because I know
that we’re talking about it in multi-films as opposed to just one film… It’s
definitely very meaty, I’ll tell you that.”
In related news, a Fast & Furious spin-off starring
Charlize Theron, who played the main antagonist in 2017’s The Fate of the Furious,
is reportedly in the works.
