'Fast & Furious 10" will be called "Fast
X", Hollywood star Vin Diesel announced in an Instagram post.
The Universal film, the first half of the 'Fast and Furious'
franchise's final chapter, has begun production and is slated to be released on
May 19, 2023.
Diesel also captioned the photo of the movie's title logo as
"Day one...," which confirms production has started on the
franchise's tenth installment.
The film is being directed and produced by longtime franchise
director Justin Lin.
Along with Diesel, other cast members expected to return
include Charlize Theron, Helen Mirren, Michelle Rodriguez, Jason Statham, John
Cena, Sung Kang, Tyrese Gibson, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, and Lucas
Black. Some big names are also coming into the franchise to join Diesel and the
others for Fast X.
Captain Marvel star Brie Larson had publicly campaigned for
a role in the film, and after getting Diesel's attention, she was officially
brought on board to star.
The Suicide Squad standout Daniela Melchior has also joined
the sequel while Aquaman star Jason Momoa will be playing the movie's villain.
The original movie series will wrap with the two-part finale
but the 'Fast' universe, a profitable title for the studio, is expected to
continue with a series of spinoffs.
Not everyone fans wanted to see come back was able to get
involved. Vin Diesel had pleaded for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to
appear in the movies following reports that the two did not get along very well
on set.
Johnson is certainly in a position where he does not have to
do any role he doesn't want to, and as he had no interest in working with
Diesel again, the former WWE star declined the invitation.
Johnson had previously appeared in the franchise and even
starred in the spinoff Hobbs & Shaw alongside Jason Statham. For his part,
Statham has said he hopes to return in at least one of the final two films, but
it's not clear at this time if he will get involved.
