Four days ago, Vin Diesel released a video with director Justin Lin from the set of Fast and Furious 10 aka Fast X, the first part of a two-film finale for the blockbuster franchise. The 54-year-old posted on Instagram: “Week one… Blessed and grateful.” In the footage, the star asked the filmmaker: “What do you think Justin?”
Lin replied, “Week One. Just finished Week One”, before a beaming Diesel asked, “How does it feel?”
The Fast X director said: “It feels like the beginning of an epic…ending.”
Asked by the star if this would be the best one, he replied, “In my heart yes”, before the lead let an enthusiastic, “Ooooooooo!”
However, just a few days later and the director of five Fast and Furious movies to date has announced he’s no longer helming the project.
