A couple of years ago, before the pandemic began, no one would have imagined that Fast and furious 9 would become the life preserver of the film industry in one of the most complicated stages of its history. Although the feature film did not raise what was initially expected, its premiere managed to drive the return to the cinema in mid-2021. After this achievement, now Vin Diesel and theirs have their sights set on the near future, that is, on Fast and furious 10.
Although the tenth installment of the franchise —by numbering— had already been confirmed for a long time, in Entertainment Weekly echo its release date: April 7, 2023. It should be clarified, however, that in these times it is difficult to trust the calendars of the production companies. After all, the pandemic is not over, so the film industry continues to depend on the health landscape to get ahead.
In fact, at first Universal and Vin Diesel’s plan was to release Fast and furious 10 a year earlier, during 2022. However, the emergence of COVID-19, which resulted in the delay of Fast and furious 9, led to a Domino effect on its release schedule. Thus, the tenth film, along with many other projects, were screened at later dates.
As you surely know, the main story of the franchise will come to an end with the eleventh feature film. If everything goes according to plan, Fast and furious 11 will hit theaters sometime in 2024. Why just one year apart from Fast and furious 10? As Vin Diesel advanced to ComicBook last June, they will shoot the last two movies at the same time. This strategy will allow them to reduce the distance between the two and obtain the reflectors in consecutive years.
Of course, you are very wrong if you think that Fast and furious he will say goodbye forever after concluding the narrative of the Torettos. Vin Diesel already has plans for other spin-offs beyond Hobbs & Shaw. One that is already 100% confirmed will have as its protagonist Cipher, the character played by Charlize Theron. However, his script is barely underway and has no release date yet.
