Fast & Furious 11’s status has been widely discussed for a few years now, and there have been varying reports about when it’ll finally head into production. Something that’s remained consistent, however, is franchise lead Vin Diesel’s enthusiasm for the production. The actor has shared a myriad of social media posts, through which he’s shared updates on the film and, this weekend, he shared some thoughts on the series capper's script. Diesel has since followed that up with a lovely video including co-star Michelle Rodriguez.
Vin Diesel Reunites With Michelle Rodrigeuz For A Cute Video
As mentioned, Diesel has an affinity for staying connected with F&F fans, and that’s certainly been evident in recent weeks. Many of the actor’s posts involve nods to his blockbuster franchise, while others may include a simple message. The longtime Dominic Toretto portrayer opted for the latter with his most recent post. Diesel took to Instagram to share a video, in which he thanked his followers and wished them a “Happy Creative Sunday.” Also, at the unknown location was Rodriguez, who made a cheeky little cameo:
It’s hard not to smile at the sight of Diesel being reunited with Rodriguez, who plays his on-screen girlfriend, Letty Ortiz. Also, I’m chuckling a little at Rodriguez whipping out that sweet camera and preparing to get a snapshot before the clip cuts off. While I’d love more context for this outing between colleagues, what is clear to me is that these two buddies still have love for each other. To that point, Diesel shouted out Rodriguez in a social media post last fall, in which he referred to her as a true “ride or die.”
Although Rodriguez has thrown a little shade at some of the more recent Fast & Furious installments, she, like her co-star, seems set on reaching the end of the proverbial road with Diesel and co. by way of Fast 11. That particular race has definitely taken longer than most likely expected, but Diesel’s latest comments on the project may perk up fans.
Vin Diesel Drops Thoughts About The Fast 11 Screenplay
Via social media posts, Diesel has shared a myriad of details on the final Fast movie and, this past January, he confirmed the official title, Fast Forever. The Riddick star garnered significant attention this past Saturday when he posted a trailer for 2001’s The Fast and the Furious, which is set to be re-released in theaters for its 25th anniversary on August 26 amid the 2026 movie schedule. As part of that Instagram message, Diesel also made a massive claim about the franchise’s closing installment:
You have no idea… When March 17th 2028 comes… you will thank God you got to see the First one in the theaters this summer. I just read the Fast Forever script by Mike Leslie. It is the best script I have read in decades. I am still crying…
Vin Diesel talks a big game, but for him to call Michael Leslie’s script the best he’s “read in decades” is really something. Based on his comments about “crying,” reading the script was apparently an emotional experience for him as well. No specifics are shared, of course, but this might be just the update some Fast fans have been waiting for.
There are still plenty of questions to ponder in regard to Fast Forever, though, as the film was in limbo (in great part) due Universal Studios’ seeking to reduce production costs. Even cast member Alan Ritchson acknowledged those “obstacles” during a recent interview. As it stands, the movie is still scheduled to be released in March 2028, but it’s unknown when filming will begin.
Still, Vin Diesel appears excited, and both he and Universal head Donna Langley have promised that Fast 11 will mark a return to the franchise’s street-racing roots. In the meantime, I’d expect Diesel to continue sharing updates online (and I hope Michelle Rodriguez pops up in a few of those theoretical posts as well).
