Fast X aka Fast & Furious 10 (Part I) released in theaters worldwide on May 19, 2023. The film was well received, with an ensemble cast, cameos, and post-credit scenes. Before Fast X was released, Vin Diesel had hinted at the Fast X world premiere that there will be at least two more films in the Fast Saga.

Let's count our blessings. We're very lucky this movie was well-received and well-loved, people went to see it in a movie theater and now they’re going to see it at home. It's one at a time.” He went on to explain Vin Diesel’s remark, saying “maybe what he was saying is that there’s 25 years of filmmaking and storytelling, three acts, two hours and two movies”, and so between
