The Fast and Furious franchise is set to take off with filming set to begin on the latest film in the franchise, with long-time director Justin Lin set to return to the driver's seat.
According to franchise star Vin Diesel, filming is set to begin on Fast & Furious 9 in February, and the production is set to start in London. Diesel posted a video to social media that featured co-star Michelle Rodriguez, putting Dominic Toretto and Letty Ortiz in the spotlight once again.
There's little information about Fast & Furious 9 at this point in time, except that a lot of the core cast members are set to return (the jury is still out on Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Jason Statham, who are currently filming their own spinoff movie) and that Justin Lin will once again direct.
Lin became a box office powerhouse with the franchise, directing The Fast & the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Fast & Furious, Fast Five, and Fast & Furious 6. Having helmed half of the films in the franchise that has since become a global sensation, it makes sense that he's returning to direct the ninth and tenth films.
But before we get too excited about the proper sequel to Fate of the Furious, fans can get excited about the first franchise spinoff with Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, which will be directed by Deadpool 2 and John Wick director David Leitch.
