Fast X director clarifies Vin Diesel’s Fast & Furious finale trilogy comments: "It’s one step at a time"

With a scene-stealing performance from Jason Momoa and car chases to rival even the most bizarre Fast & Furious moments, Fast X was a huge hit when it raced onto our screens earlier this year. Now as the movie prepares to make its at-home debut, we caught up with director Louis Leterrier about how he and Vin Diesel worked together to create the tenthquel.

In particular, Leterrier offered some clarity on what exactly the Dominic Toretto star meant by those extra movie comments. The director is working on Fast 11 at the moment, which we all thought was the final film in the two-decades-long franchise, and then Diesel confused us all. 

When he was asked about his character’s future at the movie’s premiere in Rome, Diesel intriguingly said: "I can say this: going into making this movie, the studio had asked if this could be a two-parter, and after the studio saw this and when they saw part one, they said, 'Could we make Fast X the finale, a trilogy?'" It certainly seemed like confirmation, but since then we haven’t heard any more... Thankfully Leterrier has given GamesRadar+ some further clarity.

"The one thing about Vin is like when he’s on a press line, he will say anything to get out of that press line," Leterrier laughingly tells us. "And I’m kind of like him and go, 'Yeah, sure, we will go to the moon in the next one. Bye.' And then you never forget!"

The director continues: "Obviously the next one is coming, and then yeah, one movie at a time. I think the one thing that Hollywood keeps reminding us is that it's one step at a time, put one foot forward at a time. Let's count our blessings. We're very lucky this movie was well-received and well-loved, people went to see it in a movie theater and now they’re going to see
