‘Fast & Furious’ Franchise Coming to an End With Two More Films

The Fast & Furious franchise will come to an end with two more films. 

According to Deadline, Universal Picture plans on finishing the Fast & Furious franchise with two final movies. F9 post-producer and director, Justin Lin, will be directing the two last installments, bringing this 20-year saga to an end.

F9 would be Lin’s fifth directed film. F9 was originally planned to premiere in April 2020, but will now be released on Memorial Day next year. The cast for this upcoming sequel includes: Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, and Sung Kang are returning with the addition of John Cena, Helen Mirren, Cardi B, and Ozuna. The movie will reach the theaters on May 28, 2021.

The F9 film summary follows:

No matter how fast you are, no one outruns their past. Vin Diesel’s Dom Toretto is leading a quiet life off the grid with Letty and his son, little Brian, but they know that danger always lurks just over their peaceful horizon. This time, that threat will force Dom to confront the sins of his past if he’s going to save those he loves most. His crew joins together to stop a world-shattering plot led by the most skilled assassin and high-performance driver they’ve ever encountered: a man who also happens to be Dom’s forsaken brother, Jakob (John Cena, next year’s The Suicide Squad).

I mean I figured that after it was said they’d go into outer space. What comes after outer space? The kingdom of heaven?

The main franchise might be coming to an end, but the Fast & Furious universe will keep growing with their spinoffs. One spinoff was made in 2019 that is called Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw. There is also another spinoff in the works focused on a female character. Don’t forget to mark down the premiere of F9 on your calendar.
