Following an alarming update from Jason Momoa on the future of the Fast & Furious franchise, Vin Diesel has just given F&F fans a reason to be excited again. Diesel took to his personal Instagram to seemingly confirm that the eleventh and final Fast & Furious movie, tentatively titled Fast X: Part Two, has begun filming. He shared a photo of himself and his long-time co-star and on-screen wife Michelle Rodriguez, captioned “Just wrapped an incredible day of filming with my ride-or-die about the future of Fast…” Diesel followed this with a lengthy monologue about his over 20-year history with the franchise.

Just a few weeks ago, Jason Momoa admitted that he was excited to play Dante Reyes again in the final Fast & Furious movie, but that he hadn’t seen a script and had no update to share. This is becoming more commonplace now, and it’s entirely possible that Momoa will receive a call to begin filming before he ever even reads a script. It’s also impossible to rule out that the script for Fast X: Part 2 isn’t even finished yet. Fast X, which also stars Reacher’s Alan Ritchson, was shot partially without a director, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see the franchise continue this trend of improvisation.

Plot details about Fast X: Part 2 are being kept under wraps, but it is expected to feature two franchise veterans who are guaranteed to sell tickets. After departing the franchise in recent years, both Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson will reportedly reprise their respective roles as Deckard Shaw and Luke Hobbs in Fast & Furious 11. They previously teamed up for the franchise’s first spin-off movie, Hobbs & Shaw, which also starred Idris Elba and Vanessa Kirby.

After Hobbs & Shaw, it’s entirely possible that the franchise could produce more offshoots. There’s even been whispers of a sequel to Hobbs & Shaw that would return both Johnson and Statham, and while writer Chris Morgan has confirmed that he’s working on a script, it’s unknown if that will ever translate to the big screen. Still, the Fast & Furious franchise has seen countless stars come and go over the years, each with the power to lead a project. Fans would certainly pay money to see stars like Charlize Theron, John Cena, Vanessa Kirby, and others lead a brand-new movie set in the F&F universe.
