Vin Diesel Fights to Finish ‘Fast X: Part 2’ in Los Angeles Amid Fires

Regardless of the persistent fires in Los Angeles causing significant loss of life and property value, Vin Diesel, famed for his role in the Fast and Furious series, remains steadfast in completing Fast X: Part 2 within the City of Angels. Los Angeles has been the backdrop for the initial film since way back in 2001; however, the franchise has since expanded to various destinations such as Tokyo, England, Azerbaijan, and Berlin.

Diesel expressed his eagerness to return “Fast X: Part 2” to its origins by posting a photo with co-star Jordana Brewster on Instagram. In her role as his sister Mia since the series began over two decades ago, Brewster is credited for inspiring this idea. He’s now fully committed to making this dream a reality.

Recently, as LA faced devastating fires, my sister Jordana contacted me with a heartfelt request: Universal should film the remaining portions of Fast X Part 2 in Los Angeles. Given the current circumstances, our city needs this more than ever. After all, 25 years ago, Fast and Furious began filming here, and now, it’s coming home at last. Sending love…

It appears that filming for Fast X: Part 2 might be happening, according to Vin Diesel’s recent social media posts, although the exact amount left to shoot is unclear. As of now, there’s no official release date announced, but it’s expected to come out in 2026 as the final installment of the main franchise. Spin-offs like Hobbs & Reyes are intended to carry on the legacy set by Diesel and his team, but we don’t know how long they will continue. Regarding the potential conclusion of Fast X: Part 2 in Los Angeles, Universal has not yet commented on this matter.

What ‘Fast X: Part 2’ Filming in Los Angeles Means for the Franchise

In the sequel to “Fast X,” set in Los Angeles, there’s an intention to conclude the story. This aligns with the cast’s ambition to not just rekindle the franchise but also create a more low-key, toned-down film compared to recent installments. When interviewed by MovieWeb in October 2024, Brewster expressed her hope that “The Fast and the Furious” would return to its original essence, suggesting a desire for a more grounded approach.

I’m hoping that, if it turns out to be the final one, it might return to the original essence of the ones I favor most – the first one included – as they are my top picks. Ideally, I’d like it to carry a similar vibe.

Fellow actor Tyrese Gibson, like her, expressed support for a more fundamental finale to the series, stating last year that fans are owed a conclusion that harks back to the original street racing essence. Instead of excessive spy action and car-destroying explosions, he suggested a simpler approach. Vin Diesel himself hinted at numerous muscle cars in Fast X: Part 2, implying a possible return to its roots on the streets, while also referring to the final installment in this long-running series as an “American road trip.

2026 is when we’ll finally get to see the long-awaited release of “Fast X: Part 2”. Until then, you can catch up on the whole series by streaming it right now on multiple platforms such as Netflix, Hulu, and Peacock.
