‘Fast X’ Is Already A Worthless Beginning to the Finale As Vin Diesel Teases More Spin-offs.

Even though most of the hype revolving around Fast X was focused on the 10th mainline installment marking the beginning of the end, did anyone really believe that The Fast Saga as a whole was in any danger of being tied off for good?

After all, it’s Universal’s most lucrative franchise that’s gearing up to pass the $7 billion mark, and while Dominic Toretto and the family aren’t going to be around forever, it was impossible to shake the feeling that there were inevitably more stories destined to be told in the same sandbox.

Well, to the surprise of what must be roughly nobody, Vin Diesel has taken mere days after Fast X‘s arrival in theaters to proudly proclaim to that being the grand finale is pretty much worthless when a handful of spin-offs are already in the works.

“I started developing the female spin- off in 2017 with other spinoffs, and the sooner I deliver the finale, the sooner I can launch all the spin-offs.”

Michelle Rodriguez echoed that sentiment, even if she’s always been viewed as the focal point of any female-driven spin-off that emerges once the ending is over and done with.

“You pass the baton on. You take the back seat. You go passenger side. When it comes the next generation, you have to. It’s the only way to let them define the future.”

In reality, Fast X is being marketed as the conclusion of the series when it may only be the first in a self-contained trilogy. This will be followed by more films set in the same universe, all of which will undoubtedly bear the "Fast & Furious Presents" branding, according to Hobbs and Shaw.

13 entries sounds like overkill on its own, and it is definitely feeling that way as the response keeps getting worse with each round, but going any farther would be almost absurd. However, The Fast Saga has always been like way, so it does make some sense.
