Vin Diesel said the final Fast & Furious film will hit theaters in April 2027, is set in L.A. and will see the return of Brian O'Conner.

Diesel is all too aware of this reality, having experienced the shocking passing of his friend Paul Walker in the making of Furious 7 – and we learned this weekend that his love for his departed friend is having a direct impact on the development of Fast X: Part 2.

Diesel is set to return for the follow-up to the 10th “Fast and Furious” movie, which also starred Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, John Cena, Jordana Brewster, Brie Larson, Jason Statham, Helen Mirren and Rita Moreno. The film, which was directed by Louis Leterrier, made over $700 million at the worldwide box office.
