Vin Diesel Hints at "Fast X: Part 2" Release Date

Making a sequel to a $7.3 billion franchise has its headaches. Just ask Vin Diesel about the next Fast & Furious installment Fast X: Part 2.

The star posted Friday on social media, teasing the possibility of a spring 2026 release, the return of Dwayne Johnson, who he's square off with on-screen and off, as well as a two-movie finale.

“I got universal in one ear saying we need FastX2 by March 2026! I have Comcast in the other ear saying we need two movies to be the Finale! Then the writer on Fast Five sent me this image and said we need to see DOM and HOBBS resolve their differences," Diesel said. "  just want to get back to real street racing, practical stunts… and a reunion of that beautiful brotherhood. Happy Thanksgiving…”.

Already Universal set "The Flash" screenwriter Christina Hodson and Cloverfield screenwriter Oren Uziel to write the entry with "Fast X" director Louis Leterrier returning to helm.

Currently, the studio doesn’t have an event film dated for March 2026. Rather, they have a space designated on March 13 that year for Mike Flanagan’s untitled Blumhouse The Exorcist movie. 

Some Fast & Furious installments tend to come out at Easter, which falls on April 5, 2026.

Universal is currently holding Holy Weekend for an untitled animation event movie.

Interestingly enough this weekend, Disney’s "Moana 2" is gunning to potentially unseat Johnson’s record opening at the domestic box office, "Furious 7", ($147.1M). That installment is also the franchise’s best opening ever in U.S./Canada. 

At the very least, "Moana 2" is poised to become Johnson’s second highest opening at the domestic Box Office ahead of "The Fate of the Furious" ($98.7M).

"Fast X" opened to $67M at the domestic B.O., $323.8M worldwide, ultimately finaling at $146.1M domestic, $704.8M.
