Vin Diesel Says He’s Moving Forward With Final ‘Fast and Furious’ Movie

Vin Diesel says he’s moving forward with his final Fast and Furious movie despite his recent legal issues.

Diesel posted to Instagram on Friday to update fans that he met with the writers and team behind the planned finale for the Universal Pictures action movie series earlier that day.

His update was the first public status on the film after his former assistant sued him for sexual battery in December. The accusation, which the star denies, stems from an alleged 2010 incident at a hotel during the production of Fast Five.

“Just finished our end of the week Fast meeting with the writers and the whole team… to say the excitement for our finale was incredibly powerful is an understatement,” Diesel wrote in his post. He went on to thank fans for supporting the franchise and added: “This grand finale is not just an ending; it’s a celebration of the incredible family we’ve built together. Hope to make you proud!” You can check out the post below.

The Fast and Furious franchise has been wildly successful, with the 10th and most recent installment Fast X surpassing $700 million at the global box office. In addition to a finale that will star Diesel, another film starring Dwayne Johnson and others from the Fast crew is in the works.

Diesel’s visited the American Cinematheque Awards in Los Angeles last week, marking his first public appearance since news of the legal action surfaced.

The star paid tribute to honoree Helen Mirren, thanking the Oscar-winning actress (who appeared in Fast X) for inviting him to speak. She also thanked him while accepting her honor.

A film that will serve as a sequel to Fast X that will be directed by Louis Leterrier is scheduled for release on April 4, 2025.
