The Fast & Furious crew is coming back together for another go-round, and we might now know when Fast & Furious 9 starts shooting.
It is rumored that filming will kick off on Fast & Furious 9 on April 20, 2019 (via Omega Underground), and is expected to take place in Atlanta. Justin Lin will be the director once more on Fast & Furious 9, who also helmed 2009's Fast & Furious and 2013's Fast & Furious 6, and is also rumored to help the final film in the franchise Fast & Furious 10.
Ironically an earlier tease from Vin Diesel teased a Fast & Furious 9 release date of April 19, 2019, a day before the now rumored filming start date. Now it seems that will be pushed back, and most likely so will the teased date for Fast & Furious 10, which was slated for April 2, 2021.
The franchise has been a huge performer for Universal, really kicking back into gear with 2009's Fast & Furious. Since then the franchise has grown even more, hitting its highest point with Furious 7, which brought in $353 million domestically and $1.5 billion worldwide.
The most recent film in the franchise, Fate of the Furious, also did well at the box office, bringing in $226 million domestically with a worldwide total of $1.2 billion.
It was also announced that director David Leitch, who recently helmed Deadpool 2, is now attached to direct the Fast & Furious spinoff. The spinoff will feature The Rock and Jason Statham as their characters Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw respectively.
