When the first movie in the Fast & Furious saga hit cinemas in 2001, nobody expected it to turn out into such a huge commercial success. But then again, no one expected the franchise to spread over 2 decades and 10 films. You’ve heard that right - Vin Diesel confirmed the eighth, ninth and tenth installment of Fast & Furious.
But the most unexpected thing about the Fast & Furious saga is that Furious 7 happened despite Paul Walker’s tragic death in 2013, five months after the release of the sixth movie. Boiled down to its core, Furious 7 is an action-packed homage to Paul Walker.
Spoiler alert: Furious 7’s ends with Dom and Brian bidding each other farewell, then driving off in separate directions. This means that Paul Walker’s brother will not reprise the role of Brian O’Conner for Fast & Furious 8, which is due to premiere on April 14, 2017. A representative from Universal Pictures has confirmed that to Polygon by declaring that Cody Walker will not take part in the filming of the eighth movie, so that settles it from our point of view.
Other things we know about Fast 8 (running title) is that it will be directed by F. Gary Gray of Straight Outta Compton fame, and Vin Diesel will produce the movie together with Michael Fottrell, Neal H. Moritz, and Chris Morgan.
As expected, the cast will include Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, and Jason Statham. The first poster for the movie, also revealed by Vin Diesel on Instagram, features New York City’s skyline. This practically confirms that the story will continue in downtown NYC.
The thing is, nobody knows a thing about Fast & Furious 9 and Fast & Furious 10, due to hit theaters on April 19, 2019, and April 2, 2021, respectively. All we could ever wish for is a story that’ll focus on car culture like the first Fast & Furious movie did back in 2001.
P.S.: Vin Diesel is also working on the third installment of xXx, titled The Return of Xander Cage and due 2017.
