Vin Diesel shares a Fast 10 behind-the-scenes image with his co-star, The Suicide Squad's Daniela Melchior. The upcoming Fast & Furious movie will serve as part 1 of the franchise's swan song. Despite the excitement for the project, it's faced some production issues since filming began in April 2022. Shortly after that, original director Justin Lin exited Fast 10, citing creative differences. However, reports indicate Diesel's on-set behavior played a role as well. Louis Leterrier was brought on to direct soon after Lin's departure, and filming continues now.
Fast 10 is on track to become one of the most expensive movies ever made, with the director swap costing Universal up to $1 million a day before Leterrier was hired. The movie's star-studded cast and their salaries have also played a role in Fast 10's massive budget. In addition to returning franchise stars like Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, and Charlize Theron, the film also includes Jason Momoa, Brie Larson, and Rita Moreno, who Diesel just announced will play the Torettos' grandmother. Melchior, known for her standout role as Ratcatcher 2 in The Suicide Squad, joined the Fast 10 cast in March 2022. As of now, her specific role in the film is unknown.
