Summary
Fast & Furious 11seemingly has a new writer according to the latest update from Vin Diesel, who teased just how major this next entry is going to be. TheupcomingFast & Furious 11is going to be a direct sequel toFast X, which introduced Dante Reyes (Jason Momoa) as the biggest villain Dom Toretto (Diesel) and his family have had to face so far. The new movie is set for release in 2026, and was announced with writers Oren Uziel (The Cloverfield Paradox) and Christina Hodson (The Flash) attached.
However,Dieseltook to Instagram to talk aboutFast & Furious 11,seemingly confirming that the sequel is going to be written by Zach Deaninstead of Uziel and Hodson.
The image shows the actor reminiscing about his time working with Paul Walker, who died prior to the release ofFurious 7, while mentioning Dean as the writer. He previously worked on the story forFast X, and is now seemingly going to have an even greater role in the sequel’s production than expected.
What A New Writer Means For Fast 11
Fast Xendedon a massive cliffhanger, with Aimes (Alan Ritchson) revealed to be a double agent working with Dante, using a rocket launcher to destroy a helicopter with several important characters inside. TheFast Xpost-credits scenealso teased Dwayne Johnson’s return as Hobbs, setting the stage for his own entry in the cinematic universe. Because of how many more action-packed thrills the Fast Saga is going to be tackling,it will require plenty of talent to make it all come to fruition.
If Uziel and Hodson really aren’t writingFast & Furious 11anymore, then it could result in some unexpected story developments that are in line with a different vision of the sequel. At the same time, though,Dean’s experience working onFast X’s story means he’s a perfect candidateto give Dom’s family a proper sendoff in their biggest battle ever. The writer is also working on an untitledstandalone movie, meaning he’s aware of where the franchise goes after the Fast Saga’s end. This would make him perfect for saying farewell to the beloved cast.
In the meantime, though, the franchise also needs to resolve the storyline set up regardingHobbs and Reyes' spinoff, which was originally supposed to be a bridge to the final movie. Given the possible writer change forFast & Furious 11, though, it appears the biggest focus now is ending the story of the family on a high note. With Dean possibly taking the reins on the next movie in the franchise, it remains to be seen how this might impact the story’s forthcoming conclusion.
