Vin Diesel recently revealed that the Fast & Furious franchise may wind down with three films, instead of two previously discussed. 

The actor-producer’s comments came during an appearance alongside co-star Michelle Rodriguez on the red carpet of Fast X in Rome. When asked by Fandango’s Nan Perez about what lies ahead for his globe-trotting street racer Dominic Toretto beyond the new film, which opens in cinemas on May 19, Diesel said, “It’s a really good question. As filmmakers, you want to allow people to enjoy the film without tipping the hat too much. I can say this: going into making this movie, the studio had asked if this could be a two-parter. And after the studio saw this, part one, they said, could you make Fast X, the finale, a trilogy?” “It’s three acts in any story,” teased Rodriguez. When Perez probed if this could be taken as official confirmation that the pair will be making a 12th Fast & Furious film, Diesel said, “We probably are,” subsequently fleeing the scene before either he or Rodriguez could say too much. Previously billed as the penultimate instalment of Fast & Furious, Fast X picks up with Dom and his crew as they look to fend off the pair of big baddies — the cyberterrorist Cipher (Charlize Theron) and her mysterious cohort, Dante (Jason Momoa) — with the help of a new friend, Tess (Brie Larson).
