Vin Diesel has revealed that the upcoming Fast and Furious finale, Fast Forever, has left him overwhelmed with emotions. The actor, who has played Dominic Toretto for more than 20 years, recently shared his reaction after reading the film's script and hinted that the final chapter could be the most emotional entry in the franchise so far.
Taking to Instagram, Vin Diesel shared that he had read the screenplay written by Mike Lesslie and described it as the best script he has come across in decades. The actor admitted that the story moved him so much that he was still emotional after finishing the script.
Diesel also reminded fans of the film's release date, revealing that Fast Forever is set to arrive in theatres on March 17, 2028. His post also suggested that audiences will understand the importance of the final chapter once they experience the journey that leads to it.
The upcoming film will mark the conclusion of the main Fast and Furious saga, which began with The Fast and the Furious in 2001. What started as a street-racing drama centred around cars, friendship and loyalty evolved into a global action franchise filled with impossible missions, international locations and some of Hollywood's biggest stars.
For Diesel, the franchise has been a defining part of his career. His portrayal of Dominic Toretto turned the character into a pop culture icon, with the theme of family becoming one of the most recognisable elements of the series.
As part of celebrating the franchise's 25-year journey, Diesel also revealed that the original The Fast and the Furious will return to theatres this summer in the US and several international markets. He reflected on how the franchise began on a much smaller scale, recalling that during the first film's production, it was just him and his puppy.
While details about Fast Forever remain tightly under wraps, the film is expected to continue the story after the events of Fast X and bring a conclusion to Dom Toretto's journey.
The franchise has featured several memorable faces over the years, including Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, John Cena, Jason Statham and Jason Momoa, creating a legacy that has lasted over two decades.
With Diesel's emotional reaction to the screenplay and the franchise preparing for its final chapter, Fast Forever is shaping up to be more than just another action spectacle; it could be the farewell fans have been waiting for.
