Fast and FuriousleadVin Dieselhas confirmed that production on highly-anticipated sequelFast 10is speeding down the track, with filming ready to begin in mere “minutes,” according to Dominic Toretto himself. The action star shared a video to his officialInstagramaccount, showing him at a recent NASCAR event in Los Angeles, where he took the opportunity to celebrate “that racing mindset” and tease the beginning ofFast and Furious 10filming.
“Sending you all positivity on this incredible Sunday! I and the kids just watched NASCAR here in LA… And it was a real fun event… We’re all in that racing mindset now, as we’re minutes away from the start of principal photography of Fast 10.”
Aside from the production schedule, not much else is known aboutFast 10. Vin Diesel will, of course, return to the role of car-and-family obsessed hulk Dominic Toretto, with the likes ofMichelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, and Sung Kang all expected to return.
One of the few things we do know for sure is thatFast 10will be the first half of a two-parter finaleto theFast and Furioussaga. “The idea of the last chapter being two films is correct,” returning director Justin Lin said regarding bringing the franchise to an end. “I have to say, I’m so glad - because I think when I first entered this franchise, a sequel was not a given. You had to earn it, you know? And so to be sitting here talking to you and go, ‘Oh yeah, there’s gonna be two more movies!’ I’m like, ‘Wow.’ It means a lot. So, every day when I wake up, I’m trying to reconfigure and verify hopefully whatever we’re talking about process wise is gonna yield the best result. But I think having one chapter in two movies is correct. That’s where I sit today.”
Jason Momoa Will Join Fast 10 as a Villain
The other hugely exciting thing that has since been confirmed regardingFast 10is thatAquamanstar Jason Momoa will join the rosteras the movie’s villain. After some speculation over whether Momoa would be sitting in one of many driving seats inFast 10,the news was eventually confirmed by theFast 10official Instagram account. Sharing an image of Momoa alongside the caption “The Fast Fam keeps getting bigger. Welcome, Jason Momoa,” theDunestar should prove to be a perfect addition to the Fast and Furious family.
Fast 10star Tyrese Gibson has since welcomed Momoa to the gang,echoing the excitement felt byFast and Furiousfans. “Yeaaaahhhhhh we outta here!!!!!” Gibson said on social media. “Welcome to the #FASTFAMILY!!!!! @prideofgypsies Pluto here we come!!!!!!”
