Fast Furious Vin Diesel made a big announcement
The wait for the final film of the Fast and Furious franchise is about to end!
Vin Diesel gave the crowd at FuelFest in Pomona, California, on Saturday, some news that surprised every fan.
Will be released in April 2027
“The studio said to me, ‘Vin, can we put the finale of Fast and Furious in April 2027?'” Diesel said to the excited crowd. “I said, ‘With three conditions.'”
Three conditions that will change the game
Diesel made his conditions clear: “First, bringing the franchise back to LA! Second, returning to the world of car culture and street racing,” he explained.
“And third, bringing Dom and Brian O’Connor back together.”
Special plan in memory of Paul Walker
Brian O’Connor was played by the late actor Paul Walker, who died in a car accident in November 2013 at the age of 40.
Although Diesel did not reveal how Brian will return, many franchises have been bringing back their beloved characters using CGI technology.
CGI has been used before
This will not be the first time that a deceased actor’s character will be brought back on screen.
Characters of actors like Carrie Fisher (Star Wars), Christopher Reeve (Superman), and Ian Home (Alien) have also been kept alive in a similar way.
Last tribute to Paul Walker
Walker’s accident happened when he was shooting for Fast and Furious 7.
The filmmakers took special care to give their character a proper farewell.
To complete his scenes, the help of various doubles, CGI, and even Walker’s brothers was taken.
Brian’s farewell was emotional
In the character’s sendoff, Brian took one last ride with Diesel’s Dominic Toretto to take down Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham).
In the final scene, Brian and Dom raced a quarter-mile, then a bend in the road led to Brian going one way and Dom going the other.
The final film will be emotional
Fast and Furious is now moving on to its eleventh film, billed as the final installment of the franchise.
Director Louis Leterrier has already told Entertainment Weekly, “You’re going to cry. Part 2 will be a sad movie.”
He added, “In my mind, they’re modern saints. At the end, Dante says, ‘A person becomes a saint in two ways: either they perform a miracle, or they sacrifice themselves for the greater good.’
So yes, you’re going to cry. There are some tears in your future, let me tell you.”
