After months of concerns that the planned final installment in the franchise would be axed altogether, Fast & Furious 11 looks to finally be on track. The mainline series of films is expected to come to a close after the eleventh movie, which is expected to pick up from Fast X‘s cliffhanger ending in which Diesel’s Dom and Little B were left in one of Dante’s traps, while Gal Gadot’s Gisele returned from the ᴅᴇᴀᴅ to rescue Letty and Cipher, and Dwayne Johnson’s Hobbs became Dante’s new target.

Despite the two-part plan, though, Fast & Furious 11 has seen numerous development issues over the past two years, initially being paused due to the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes before suffering another delay amid script rewrites. More recently, reports have swirled that the planned final installment was eyeing a complete cancellation, as Fast X‘s modest box office performance has left Universal eyeing a way to produce the next film cheaper after the tenth film’s $378.8 million production budget.

Now, in a new post from Vin Diesel on his Instagram page, he could be seen visiting the Universal Pictures lot with the studio’s Chief Marketing Officer, Michael Moses. The producer/star is donning a shirt that reads “Fast X Part 2 Los Angeles Production 2025“, and is seen not only strolling through the backlot and one of its theaters with Moses, but the Universal exec stating they were “planning everything” and “got it solved“, indicating the movie’s production delays were now smoothed out.

Though Moses’ comments are sure to come as a big sigh of relief for fans of the franchise, they don’t necessarily mean that Fast & Furious 11 is officially greenlit by the studio. It was just a few weeks prior to this writing that the report came out that Universal wanted to decrease the necessary budget for the movie’s finished script by up to $50 million, necessitating cutting out certain characters and keeping production domestic instead of international.

Moses’ higher position in the studio does create some semblance of encouragement that Diesel and Universal have finally landed on an agreeable path forward for Fast & Furious 11. Given the studio was already in early development on more spinoff тιтles, including Hobbs & Reyes, the female-led project and an unknown standalone story, it’s possible some of the narrative ideas for 11 have shifted to the other films. With the previous goal of an April 2027 release, though, the final Fast & Furious will need to race to production soon or risk another delay.
