Since we just saw F9 on opening night, we've got a firm grasp on who to expect back for Fast and Furious 10. Lin revealed the news in an Instagram post that doesn't explain why he's leaving, though he notes he will stay on as a producer. Director Justin Lin, who has been with the series since The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, and directed Fast Five (widely thought of as the rebirth of the series) has left Fast X. The bad news right now overshadows the below casting news. We say 'movies' because it seems like Fast 10 and Fast 11 may be just Fast 10 parts 1 and 2. Star Vin Diesel confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that filming on the movies will begin in January 2022. But with production delays and slowdowns due to the COVID-19, the movie won't be accelerating into theaters. Originally Fast and Furious 10 (or whatever they wind up calling it) was due in April 2021. This puts it a bit in front of Mission: Impossible 7, the other big Summer 2023 movie, which is due on July 14.
