As a long-time devotee of the Fast and Furious franchise, I can’t help but feel a tinge of nostalgia as we approach the potential swan song for this action-packed saga. Jordana Brewster, who has embodied the character Mia Toretto with grace and panache since the very beginning, shares my sentiment. With over two decades under her belt, she’s not only been an integral part of Universal’s most successful franchise but also a pillar in our pop culture landscape.
For over two decades, Jordana Brewster has been a vital component of the Fast and Furious franchise, playing Mia Toretto in every movie since its beginning in 2001. Together with the main cast, she’s journeyed to various parts of the world, contributing to the development of this legendary series into a global sensation – Universal’s most successful franchise ever, earning over $7 billion dollars. However, with rumors suggesting that the next installment could be the final chapter in the main storyline, Brewster expressed a desire for the ending to mirror the beginning.
In an interview with MovieWeb, promoting her upcoming film “Cellar Door”, we discussed various topics including “The Fast and the Furious” franchise. When asked about the possible ending of the series, Vin Diesel had previously mentioned that Fast 11 would mark its conclusion. Given the staggering $700 million earnings from last year’s “Fast X”, it’s challenging to accept this as the end, suggesting the franchise still has some life left. Brewster expressed her hope that if this is truly the end, the final movie might retrace its steps back to where it all started.
I’m hoping, if this is indeed the final one, that it returns to the original essence of the first one since it, along with two and five, are my favorites. I’d really enjoy if it retained a similar vibe.
Her remarks align with Diesel’s earlier statements, who described Fast 11 as an “American road trip” film, and Tyrese Gibson’s comments about wanting a final installment that returns to the series’ roots. It remains unclear how they plan to achieve this given the climactic ending of Fast X, but rumors suggest a spin-off featuring Jason Momoa’s Dante Reyes and Dwayne Johnson’s Luke Hobbs may fill in the blanks before we move on to the next chapter in the main storyline. At present, the script is still being developed, but production is expected to commence early next year, aiming for a 2026 release date.
Jordana Brewster Calls Fast & Furious ‘Part of the Cultural Fabric’
22 years ago, the world was introduced to the high-octane thrill ride that is the Fast & Furious franchise, and it’s been tearing up the box office ever since. It’s become more than just a movie series; it’s woven itself into the fabric of pop culture. From short films and animated TV shows to video games and action figures, it seems like there’s no escaping the influence of this franchise. And that’s part of what makes it so special – no matter where you go, you’ll find someone who’s heard of Fast & Furious. The fandom has grown into a global family, and that sense of camaraderie is something that’s been present since the very beginning. As a movie lover, I can’t imagine what my life would be like without the Fast & Furious movies.
For Brewster, she pointed out one particularly rewarding aspect: being involved in something grand enough to be woven into the cultural tapestry. However, even with all her achievements, she stays grounded, recognizing that without the support of her fans, nothing would have materialized.
What’s most rewarding about this project is the sense of community it has created. While I was shooting ‘Heart Eyes’ in New Zealand, people would approach me and say, ‘Hi Mia!’ They felt so comfortable, and it’s touching to see that they identify with the film or connect with various characters. The impact it has had on the local culture is significant, and as an actor, having such a connection is truly unique – something I don’t take lightly.
Although it’s uncertain if Dom, Mia, and their family have truly reached their final destination, there’s no doubt that the Fast & Furious series will continue to thrive even beyond its cinematic finale. May Tyler, Johnson, and Diesel receive an ending they desire, as they certainly deserve it given all they’ve accomplished in this franchise.
