Fast X had a bit of a bumpy road last year. The production got off the ground after COVID-19 delayed the 9th entry in the series, but mere days into the production, director Justin Lin walked away amid a flood of rumors that things were not going well. Nothing was confirmed, but it sounds like things were bad enough that Lin was willing to walk away from a very large payday; however, he is keeping his producer and writing credits. Universal brought on Louis Letterier to replace Lin. They were also rumored to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars a day that the production didn’t have a director. Things eventually finished, and the film looks on track to hit its May 2023 release date. We haven’t heard anything about the movie yet, but it looks like that will change. Star Vin Diesel took to his personal Instagram to share either a new still or a behind-the-scenes photo from Fast X. He also revealed that the trailer isn’t coming until next month and if I was a betting woman? I’d put my money on a Super Bowl spot.
These films are always massive, and Fast X is the second to last film in the franchise, with the eleventh one being the last. However, the fate of the eleventh is still a little up in the air. We don’t know if Letterier will also work on that film since he was brought onto this one in the eleventh hour.
