Vin Diesel has hinted at the return of Paul Walker’s character in the upcoming film, but it’s unclear if he’ll make a digital appearance due to his passing in 2013. Diesel joined co-stars Tyrese Gibson and Cody Walker at Fuel Fest, where he discussed the final installment of the “Fast and Furious” franchise.
Diesel revealed that the studio has asked for an April 2027 release window, under three conditions: returning to Los Angeles, rekindling car culture, and reuniting Dom and Brian O’Conner. The latest film, “Fast X,” was released in May 2023 with a $340 million production budget and grossed over $700 million worldwide.
The future of the franchise is uncertain, as it’s unclear if “Fast 11” will continue “Fast X”‘s story after a long delay. Despite this, Diesel is promising a major return for the final film in the series.
