During the premiere of “Fast X” last month, Vin Diesel revealed that two more installments are in the pipeline to conclude the “Fast and Furious” saga that began in 2001 with the launch of “The Fast and the Furious.”
Diesel, the actor behind the lead character Dominic Toretto, recently shared via Instagram that the first of these two additional films, provisionally named “Fast X: Part II,” the 11th of the series, is slated for release on April 4, 2025.

There is no definitive date for the 12th and conclusive movie at this time.
Diesel had previously stated in 2021 that only one additional movie would be produced post Fast X to wrap up the plotline. However, during the red carpet event at the Rome premiere of Fast X last month, he disclosed that the production company, Universal Pictures, requested a trilogy to conclude the saga instead of the originally planned two-part finale.

In recent years, the Fast and Furious franchise has expanded beyond the primary saga, due in part to the 2019 spinoff “Hobbs and Shaw.” The franchise might continue to thrive through similar spinoff productions. Earlier this month, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who portrays the character Luke Hobbs in the franchise, announced on Twitter about a new spinoff movie featuring Hobbs that would lay the groundwork for Fast X: Part II.
Despite Johnson’s statement in 2021 that he would be leaving the franchise, his character Hobbs is slated to return to the main storyline. His comeback was announced through a Hobbs cameo in the credits of Fast X.
In the cameo, a new antagonist, Dante Reyes (played by Jason Momoa), contacts Hobbs to inform him that he is the next target, seeking revenge for his father’s death. Reyes lost his family during the bridge chase scene in “Fast Five,” and Fast X primarily focuses on Reyes’ assault on Toretto, whose fate remains uncertain after a dam explosion at the film’s conclusion.
