Fans of Fast & Furious are eagerly waiting for updates about the final movie, but they might have to wait even longer than expected. According to Ludacris, who has been a part of the franchise for years, there is still no clear timeline for when production will begin.
The rapper and actor, known for playing Tej, recently spoke with Entertainment Weekly and admitted that even he does not know when the project will move forward. He confirmed that things remain uncertain and that production has not officially started.
This news will likely surprise many people, especially since Fast X ended with a major cliffhanger. The franchise’s conclusion has been described as a two-part finale, and fans have been looking forward to an epic ending.
Director Louis Leterrier is still attached to the project, and Vin Diesel has promised that the final movie will be something special. However, Universal has not given an official green light yet, which means the wait could be much longer. Ludacris’ comments reflect this uncertainty:
“I’m waiting on updates myself, man. I wish I could give you some info, but I wouldn’t want to give you the incorrect info. All I can say for now is that I’m waiting to get it, and I know we’ve been working very long and hard on it in order for it to be what it needs to be: to be the last installment and bring everything together.”
Jordana Brewster Hopes for a Return to the Franchise’s Beginnings
While Ludacris is waiting for more information, Jordana Brewster has shared her hopes for the final movie’s direction. She recently spoke with Collider while promoting Heart Eyes and expressed her wish for the series to return to its original style.
“I would like to go back to the roots of the first one… I think it should be back in LA, I think it should be gritty, and I think Mia should go back to being part of a group that’s kicking some ass.”
The Fast & Furious series has changed a lot since it first began. The early movies focused on street racing and crime, with the first film centered around a group stealing DVD players.
Over time, the franchise has evolved into a global action series with spy missions, impossible car stunts, and even space travel. While these elements have made the movies exciting, many fans miss the original tone of the series.
Brewster’s idea of bringing the franchise back to Los Angeles and embracing the street-racing culture again is something that many longtime fans have been asking for.
The first movie, released in 2001, became a hit because of its intense action, underground car culture, and close-knit friendships. A return to that style for the final movie could give the franchise a nostalgic and satisfying conclusion.
There is still no confirmation on when Fast X: Part 2 will begin filming, but fans remain hopeful for more updates soon. Stay connected for the latest news about the highly anticipated final installment.
