Vin Diesel teases Fast and Furious spin off with an interesting detail

Vin Diesel, the Fast and Furious franchise’s star, hinted a potential spinoff of the thrilling movie with a female-led instalment. "I started developing the female spinoff…in 2017 with other spinoffs, and the sooner I deliver the finale, the sooner I can launch all the spinoffs," he told the Variety on Saturday (May 20) at the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP) Block Party.

Fast X    is the first of a two-part ending, but "it’s bittersweet to think of a finale," Diesel said.

In an interview on May 12 at the Rome premiere, he hinted that the movie’s end might be spread out over three films. "Look how many characters and great talent there is in the movie,” Diesel said of the possible 12th film. 

"There was no way I can pull that off unless I had everyone on for five seconds. These characters are appealing and we need to see more of them."

Fast X    structures the appalling returns from Gisele (Gal Gadot) and Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson). Diesel confesses it wasn’t easy to keep the cameos a secret. "I’m so excited to have them back home and even more excited to see fan reactions and to see how happy it makes people."

Before appearing on the carpet, Fast X    co-star Michelle Rodriguez unveiled that Gadot had shot cameos for earlier films, but they didn’t make the final cut.

"We have shot other things a long time ago that might not have fit that specific movie as a finale," Diesel confirmed. "Doing tags is a very tricky thing because you want your great talent but at the same time you have to be very careful to maintain the emotional state of your audience at the end of the movie. So that’s what you’re juggling."
