Vin Diesel opens up about Fast X 2 for Thanksgiving, sharing that he’s feeling the pressure: Universal Pictures wants a 2026 release date, parent company Comcast is pushing for two more films, the writer wants things fixed with Dwayne Johnson’s character, but Diesel says he hopes to bring the new movie back to its roots.
The $7.3 billion Fast & Furious franchise has spawned eleven films. Fast X was released in 2023 and brought in $700 million.
“I got universal in one ear saying we need FastX2 by March 2026!” posted the actor on social media.
He continued, “I have Comcast in the other ear saying we need two movies to be the Finale!”
There has been bad blood between Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson both on and off the screen, which reportedly has been resolved. It sounds like Johnson will be back for Fast X 2.
“Then the writer on Fast Five sent me this image and said we need to see DOM and HOBBS resolve their differences,” said Diesel.
He added, “I just want to get back to real street racing, practical stunts… and a reunion of that beautiful brotherhood.”
