Vin Diesel on The Fast and Furious saga end with two-part 10th movie
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Vin Diesel was asked about the announcement to end the Fast & Furious movies with two more films after F9: The Fast Saga, while continuing with the spin-offs. He said that the wrapping up of the main series is a matter that was always discussed. The actor mentioned that even as far back as in 2012- 2013, it was something that he and Paul Walker would discuss, i.e finishing the series on the 10th installment.
Vin Diesel stated that the conclusion "just always felt right" to them. As he voices Groot in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), he explained that being a part of the Marvel franchise, he saw the possibility that when you have soo much story you can end with two films, referring to the conclusion of MCU’s Infinity Saga with Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
The actor asserted that it was something they had talked about which became real. Diesel noted that it’s just been “such a wonderful, wonderful run,” and they had always envisioned that the 10th film would be the farewell, the finale, and that is what their story is working towards.
