The Fast and Furious franchise has proven, if anything, its relentless. Coming back from time served in movie jail after the less than stellar performance of the 3rd film in the franchise, Tokyo Drift in 2006. The series returned with Fast and Furious which re-gained a cult following resulting in a strong and critical acclaimed sequel in the form of Fast Five, with Six materialising soon after. The well published loss of Paul Walker during the production for Fast and Furious 7, a well beloved actor and character, would have seen the end of even the most respected franchise. But not Fast and Furious.

So it’s with little surprise that franchise mainstay, Vin Diesel, anticipates that the series is strong enough to spawn spins-off films as well. Creating an Avenger like universe where characters can exist alongside the core films but have adventures of their own.

‘We’ve written out storylines for various characters,’ revealed Diesel in an interview with Variety. ‘We’ve been playing with it for a long time. It’s a very rich property and we’re committed to treating it with a lot of class.’

Little information regarding story and characters were revealed in the conversation but the eighth sequel in the franchise has already found its director in the form of Straight Outta Compton’s (2015) F. Gary Gray. Fast and Furious 8 is expected to be the first of a final trilogy of films with Diesel explaining that ‘Universal has been so good to me and so trusting of the vision… they have been like family… I promised the studio I would deliver one last Trilogy to end the saga.’

These reports of further Fast and Furious spin-offs certainly muddies the water as to what constitutes a ‘final’ instalment of a franchise that has defied the odds on numerous occasions. But with the cash-cow that is the pedal-to-the-metal series for Universal, don’t be surprised to see Dominic Toretto and Co. continue their adventures well after Fast and Furious 10.
