After becoming a mainstay behind the camera for the franchise, Justin Lin was replaced as director for Fast X by Louis Letterier. Letterier will also be returning to direct Fast & Furious 11, with writing credits going to Christina Hodson (The Flash) and Oren Uziel (Mortal Kombat). With two years left before it hits our screens, there is plenty of time for more announcements regarding the team behind the film, although the expectation is that most of the crew for Fast X will complete the sequel as well. This includes the likes of executive producers Mark Bomback (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) and David Cain (Fury), as well as the music by Brian Tyler (Iron Man 3) and cinematography by Stephen F. Windon (Star Trek Beyond).
Is This the End of the ‘Fast’ Franchise?
Most roads lead to the conclusion that Fast & Furious 11 will be the end of the world-conquering franchise. All good things must come to an end, and fans, as hard as it may be, might be about to say goodbye to their favorite movie series. However, there is one string of hope still dangling, Vin Diesel himself said this during the Rome premiere of Fast X,
“Going into making this movie, the studio had asked if this could be a two-parter. And after the studio saw this, part one, they said, could you make Fast X, the finale, a trilogy.”
Perhaps this supposed two-part finale will in fact be a trilogy, with the closing moments of one of cinema’s biggest franchises not as complete as we thought they were.
