The sequel to Fast X was originally set to open in theaters this year. But as of now, production has not begun, and there isn’t an expected start date. The reason, reportedly, is that Vin Diesel is having trouble securing financing for more Fast & Furious films.

Vin Diesel has announced that the upcoming Fast X: Part 2, the penultimate installment of the Fast & Furious franchise, will return to its roots by filming in Los Angeles. The city, which served as the backdrop for the series’ original 2001 film, holds a special place in the saga’s history.

Diesel shared a picture with his co-star Jordana Brewster along with a note in which he shared that Brewster encouraged him to have Universal film the "rest of Fast X: Part 2 in LA."

If the original plan for Fast X’s continuation had held, we’d be talking about how the Torretto crime family would be making a grand return on the 2025 movie schedule. Alas, what we know about Fast and Furious 11 informs us that delays and the magnetic draw of releasing this potentially final chapter led to an undetermined 2026 debut.
