Universal is also debating sequel strategies, including a two-part finale and resolving long-standing character arcs.
Vin Diesel’s Vision for Fast 11
Vin Diesel recently shared updates about Fast 11 on Instagram, emphasizing his desire to return the franchise to its roots. Posting a nostalgic image of himself with Dwayne Johnson (Luke Hobbs) from Fast Five, Diesel expressed interest in:
- Reintroducing practical stunts and focusing on real street racing.
- Exploring core relationships, including Dominic Toretto’s brotherhood with Hobbs.
- Delivering a leaner, more grounded storyline, inspired by the franchise’s earlier films.

According to Diesel, Universal Studios is aiming for a March 2026 release for Fast X: Part 2, but Comcast, Universal’s parent company, prefers a two-film finale. The latter would allow for Fast 11 to conclude Dante Reyes’ (Jason Momoa) arc while leaving room for a separate, street-racing-focused final chapter.

Changes in Villain Dynamics
Reports suggest a reimagining of Fast 11’s antagonist landscape. Jason Momoa’s Dante Reyes may not return as the central villain, paving the way for a new antagonist in the sequel. This aligns with insider Jeff Sneider’s January 2024 claim that Universal intends to craft a “back-to-basics” film with a budget no larger than $200 million.
This shift could also affect Dwayne Johnson’s Hobbs spinoff, which was announced in 2023 as a bridge between Fast X and Fast 11. While initially set to pit Hobbs against Dante Reyes, the spinoff’s current status remains unclear.

What Lies Ahead for Fast 11?
With production for Fast 11 expected to begin in early 2025 under director Louis Leterrier, fans eagerly await clarity on the storyline. Whether Diesel’s back-to-basics vision prevails or Universal opts for a dual-film finale, the franchise promises to deliver an engaging conclusion.
The untitled Fast & Furious 11 is set to hit theaters in 2026, continuing the legacy of The Fast Saga.
