Vin Diesel wants to reunite with Brian O'Connor in 'Fast & Furious 11'

Los Angeles, Hollywood actor Vin Diesel, best known for the "Fast & Furious" franchise, says he has three conditions for the final film, which Universal Studios wants to release in April 2027, one of them being the reunion with Brian O'Connor's character. Vin Diesel wants to reunite with Brian O'Connor in 'Fast & Furious 11' The first installment of "Fast & Furious" released in 2001, starring Diesel in the role of Dominic Toretto. Till now, there have been 10 films in total with a spinoff "Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw", two short films and an animated series on Netflix, "Fast & Furious: Spy Racers". According to the entertainment news outlet Deadline, Diesel was present at FuelFest in Southern California on Saturday. The 57-year-old actor got on the stage in front of the cheerful crowd as he spoke about the film. Diesel said the studio proposed the release date of the film, to which he had three conditions. First to have the franchise return to Los Angeles. Second to have street racing in it and the last to reunite with Brian O'Conner. "Just yesterday, I was with Universal Studios... the studio said to me, 'Vin, can we please have the finale of 'Fast and Furious' in April 2027. I said under three conditions, the first is to bring the franchise back to LA, the second is to return to the car culture, to the street racing. The third thing was reuniting Dom and Brian O'Connor," he said. Brian O'Connor was portrayed by the late actor Paul Walker, who died in an accident in 2013. He was working on "Fast & Furious 7" at the time of the tragedy. The makers used CGI and VFX artists and his two brothers, Cody and Caleb Walker, to finish the film.

Vin Diesel teases Paul Walker return in Fast and Furious 11 with April 2027 release date

Vin Diesel has announced that the final installment of the Fast & Furious franchise is slated for release in April 2027. During a surprise appearance at Fuel Fest, a car enthusiast event in Pomona, California, Diesel shared new details about Fast & Furious 11, appearing alongside co-stars Tyrese Gibson and Cody Walker. Diesel told fans that he agreed to Universal's proposed release date under three specific conditions: returning the story to Los Angeles, reviving the franchise's street racing roots, and reuniting Dominic Toretto with Brian O'Conner, the late Paul Walker's iconic character. Walker, who died in a 2013 car crash, portrayed O'Conner from the franchise's inception. Any return for the character would likely rely on digital effects or archival footage, similar to how Furious 7 handled his emotional sendoff using body doubles and CGI. Fast X, the tenth main entry in the franchise, debuted in May 2023 and grossed over $700 million globally, despite a production budget of $340 million. The film featured Jason Momoa, Michelle Rodriguez, Alan Ritchson, Rita Moreno, and Brie Larson. It ended on a cliffhanger, originally marketed as the first part of a two-part finale. It remains unclear whether Fast 11 will directly continue that storyline or branch into new territory. However, Diesel's comments suggest the film will focus on emotional closure and a nostalgic return to the series' early themes. The studio has yet to confirm how O'Conner's reappearance will be executed, but the promise of his reunion with Dom is already generating major anticipation among fans as the franchise approaches its final lap.
