Vin Diesel reveals that he rejected a script for Fast & Furious 10 because it didn't include Jordana Brewster's Mia Toretto. First released in 2001, the Fast & Furious franchise has now been going strong for over 20 years with the latest entry, F9: The Fast Saga, released in 2021. The franchise follows Diesel's Dominic Toretto, an illegal street racer turned action hero who, along with a band of close allies, friends, and family, works to save the world from various threats.
Shortly following the release of F9: The Fast Saga, it was revealed that the story of Dom and the rest of the mainline Fast & Furious crew would come to a close with two final films. Casting announcements for Fast 10 have dropped periodically over the last few months, with Brie Larson, Daniela Melchior, and Aquaman star Jason Momoa joining on. While plot details regarding the upcoming film also remain scarce, Diesel revealed its title to be Fast X in a recent social media post.

In a lengthy caption accompanying a picture of him hugging Brewster and Walker, Diesel explains the draft left him feeling "disappointed," since he sees Mia as the reason for Dom and Brian's brotherhood in the films. Ultimately, Diesel explains, it was his daughter that set things right, telling director Justin Lin, "NO MIA NO FAST 10!" Check out Diesel's post below:
