SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for “Fast X,” now playing in theaters.

The “Fast and Furious” franchise is getting spinoffs, including a female-led installment.

'Fast and Furious' star Vin Diesel has confirmed that the female-led spin-off will be launched after the franchise's "finale".

“I started developing the female spinoff…in 2017 with other spinoffs, and the sooner I deliver the finale, the sooner I can launch all the spinoffs,” he told Variety.

“Fast X” is being billed by Universal Pictures as the beginning of the end of the saga, which kicked off in 2001. The plan has long been to split the finale into two films, “Fast X” and the upcoming 11th installment.

In a recent interview, Diesel previously teased that the finale might be divided into three movies instead.

“Look how many characters and great talent there is in the movie. There was no way I can pull that off unless I had everyone on for five seconds. These characters are appealing and we need to see more of them,”.

“Fast X” features the shocking returns from Gisele (Gal Gadot) and Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson).

Diesel admits it wasn’t easy keeping the cameos a secret, noticed: “I’m so excited to have them back home and even more excited to see fan reactions and to see how happy it makes people,”.

Moreover, “Fast X” co-star Michelle Rodriguez revealed that Gadot had shot cameos for earlier movies, but they didn’t make the final cut.

“We have shot other things a long time ago that might not have fit that specific movie as a finale,” Diesel confirmed.

“Doing tags is a very tricky thing because you want your great talent but at the same time you have to be very careful to maintain the emotional state of your audience at the end of the movie. So that’s what you’re juggling,” he pointed out.

Rodriguez isn’t sure she’ll sign up for spinoffs, stating: “You pass the baton on. You take the back seat,” she said.

“You go passenger side. When it comes the next generation, you have to. It’s the only way to let them define the future.”
