Vin Diesel starrer Fast X is in the theatre now and it’s doing well in the global box office. The billion-dollar franchise’s latest installment is also action-packed in the racing roads, blazing with fire. The involvement of new characters in the action also made the franchise quite exciting.
Aquaman star Jason Momoa joined Fast X playing the villain, creating chaos and being nightmares to the good guys. Louis Leterrier directed Fast X also has remarkable cameos and a post-credit scene which for the fans has been more exciting. These cameos also confirm the return of some important characters to the franchise in the future.
Fast & Furious Spinoffs in the Making
Franchise lead actor Vin Diesel recently revealed to Variety that spinoffs of the Fast and Furious franchise are in the works. Further, a female-led film is to be added to the spinoffs.
“I started developing the female spinoff…in 2017 with other spinoffs, and the sooner I deliver the finale, the sooner I can launch all the spinoffs,” Diesel told Variety.
As per reports, Fast X is one of the two parts of the movie. Talking about the finale of the franchise, the actor said, “It’s bittersweet to think of a finale.” Earlier, talking about the studio reaction after watching Fast X and if he could make the finale a trilogy, the actor stated that the ending might be expanded into three films. Hinting at a possible 12th film, the XXX actor said, “Look how many characters and great talent there is in the movie.”
“There was no way I can pull that off unless I had everyone on for five seconds. These characters are appealing and we need to see more of them.”
Diesel’s co-star Michelle Rodriguez, however, is not sure if she would appear in the spinoffs. “You pass the baton on. You take the back seat,” she said.
“You go passenger side. When it comes the next generation, you have to. It’s the only way to let them define the future.”
There are a lot of characters in the franchise and it is too early to predict which character will lead the new spinoffs. The studio has already given onscreen space to two important characters in the 2019 spinoff Hobbs & Shaw.
Shocking Cameo, Shocking Return
Minor spoilers ahead…
In a surprising turn of events, Fast Five character Gisele Yashar and the most talked about character regarding the series, Luke Hobbs are back. In a post-credit scene, the characters made an onscreen appearance, confirming their return in the remaining films of the franchise.
Gal Gadot played Gisele Yashar in the franchise. Recently, the Wonder Woman actor confirmed on her official Instagram account about her return to the franchise. “Missed my Fast family! I’m overwhelmed with excitement,” she wrote.
“To my fans, your continuous love and support fuels this journey. Here’s to honoring the legacy, the fans and the Fast Family that we’ve built together!”
Despite the feud between Dwayne Johnson and Diesel, the director of Fast X confirmed his return to reprise the role of Luke Hobbs. The director said the importance of the characters and themes in the franchise.
“It’s about the characters and the themes – and how all these pieces and these characters that they created are going to come together to finish this franchise – possibly the greatest action franchise in the world – at its peak. And the peak is only done through characters.”
Leterrier showed Fast X to the Black Adam actor and he loved the film, and later, agreed to return.
Earlier, Johnson publicly stated that he has no intention to return to the franchise, owing to his feud with Vin Diesel, but it appears the actors have settled their differences.
