Fast and Furious 11: 2 years after Fast X, Dom's latest adventures are worrying

In February 2024, Vin Diesel announced to fans of Fast and Furious that the next installment in the saga would also be the last, contrary to rumors circulating at the time about a new trilogy. But months go by, and it's already been two years since the previous installment in the franchise was released in theaters. What's happening with the sequel?

Fast & Furious 11, a necessary conclusion

Fast X part 2, a.k.a. Fast & Furious 11,will conclude the automotive saga of Dom Toretto and his family, which began in 2001 with the late Paul Walker. Released in theaters on May 17, 2023, almost two years ago to the day, Fast X ended with a twist, implying a sequel for the characters in the saga. Unlike the eighth and ninth installments, this one doesn't end with a barbecue: in the middle of the story, Dom and his team confront Dante, who is seeking revenge for his father's death (which occurred in Fast Five). Vin Diesel's hero manages to escape, but he watches helplessly as a plane carrying Roman, Tej, Ramsey, and Han crashes. The film ends with a situation that seems hopeless... And which requires a sequel!

So yes, Fast & Furious 11 must be released to finish the story of Dom and his family, but when? That's the question fans are asking, worried about not having any news about the film. The returns of Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Gisele Yashar (Gal Gadot) have been confirmed, but no release date has yet been revealed by Universal Pictures. The film is expected to be released in 2026, after being scheduled for April 2025 and pushed back to 2023 following the writers' and actors' strikes in Hollywood. Filming is scheduled to begin this summer, but the radio silence from Vin Diesel, who never fails to communicate about the saga via his social networks, does not bode well. He shares memories of filming, but nothing concrete about what happens next. This could mean creative differences within the cast, or with director Louis Letterier. Unless no one knows how to end the franchise...
