As a long-time fan of the Fast & Furious franchise, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and apprehension regarding the upcoming final chapter, Fast 11. Tyrese Gibson’s recent remarks about the film’s direction have certainly piqued my interest, especially his emphasis on returning to the series’ street-racing roots.
Anticipation for the next chapter of the enduring Fast & Furious series, expectedly following the thrilling events of Fast X in 2023, is running high among fans. With this being touted as the final installment, there’s been a dearth of updates about what awaits Dominic Toretto and his kin in their closing journey. Recently, Tyrese Gibson, one of the stars, has shared his thoughts on the film’s development, which I find intriguing yet a bit concerning due to his production update.
Since Tyrese Gibson is actively promoting his new movie, “1992”, it was almost certain he’d discuss the “Fast & Furious” films, which we’ve covered. In an interview with Josh Horowitz for the “Happy, Sad, Confused” podcast (available on YouTube), Gibson addressed rumors about the direction of “Fast 11”. It’s been suggested that this film will shift away from the grandiose storylines and action sequences that have characterized recent installments. Delightfully, Gibson, who has played Roman Pearce since “2 Fast 2 Furious” in 2003, expressed a sentiment that I find reassuring:
They’re taking it back to the streets, taking it back to the basics, which the fans deserve.

What Vin Diesel And The Fast X Cast Have Said About The Franchise Ending
It’s exciting news that the producers of Fast & Furious (FF) and possibly Vin Diesel, the main actor, are planning to go back to the original street-racing essence for the final movie. This decision seems logical from a storytelling perspective as it would complete the high-speed tale in a satisfying way. Like many fans, I’ve felt somewhat let down by some of the more recent Fast & Furious films due to their excessive theatrics. While TopMob’s review of Fast X was positive and some other critics agreed, there were also criticisms about its overly complex plot.
Although it’s good to know Tyrese Gibson’s perspective on that topic, some additional information he disclosed during his interview with Josh Horowitz causes me a little unease. Specifically, he shared insights about the upcoming movie, and I find myself feeling a tad apprehensive about what he revealed.
As of now, I haven’t received a script to read. However, I’ve had discussions with the director and frequently communicate with Vin Diesel. They are doing an excellent job in maintaining the success of this franchise. Once I get the call, I plan to appear on set, do my best, and cross my fingers that they continue to appreciate my contributions.
In May of this year, it was announced that the release of Fast 11 has been moved from 2025 to 2026. This delay seems plausible given that actor Tyrese Gibson hasn’t received the script yet. However, knowing that the film won’t come out until next year makes it feel more tangible, and I can’t help but feel a tinge of disappointment. At least one would expect that Gibson would have an idea about the storyline by now, although it seems the creators are keeping the script confidential for now. There’s always a chance that the production schedule could change again, which is certainly discouraging.
It’s worth noting that there seem to be some significant modifications happening in the background regarding the script. Vin Diesel himself has confirmed a change when he posted on social media in June, revealing that Zach Dean (credited with a story for Fast X) will be writing the next film’s screenplay. This information came after rumors circulated that Orien Uziel and Christina Hodson would handle the scriptwriting duties. It’s possible that this movie could be undergoing a complete rewrite, given the delay, but I can’t help but speculate about it. Creative overhauls can sometimes yield unpredictable results, so one can only hope that if a full rewrite is indeed happening, it will prove beneficial.
Apologies if I’ve been worrying you, but perhaps I’m just overanalyzing things. The production of Fast 11 might be progressing smoothly as promised. In fact, fans can rest assured that the team is planning to bring us more street-based action, and I have no doubt Tyrese Gibson will rejoin the cast when the time comes. Until then, enjoy the Fast & Furious series available on multiple streaming platforms. Keep an eye on the 2024 movie schedule for updates on upcoming releases, and don’t forget to catch Tyrese in 1992 hitting cinemas on August 30th!
