Vin Diesel Confirms "Fast and Furious 6 and 7"

Fast Five left the door open during the mid-credits scene which has been expected to take place in Europe.  Also the possibility to see the return of certain characters from previous installments in the series.

Vin Diesel, star and a producer of Universal’s franchise 'Fast and Furious', said during the planning process of the new movie, the Fast and Furious creative team (director Justin Lin and screenwriter Chris Morgan) realized that they would need a seventh movie for their story. The sixth and seventh are being written simultaneously.  With (up in the air) rumors to feature Jason Statham to the cast in the upcoming movies, would be a great addition to the film. Again, they are just rumors, but I am anxious to find out in future news on the Fast and Furious series!

 Here is what Diesel told THR:

“With the success of ['Fast Five'], and the inclusion of so many characters, and the broadening of scope, when we were sitting down to figure out what would fit into the real estate of number six, we didn’t have enough space… We have to pay off this story, we have to service all of these character relationships, and when we started mapping all that out it just went beyond 110 pages. The studio said, ‘You can’t fit all that story in one damn movie!’”

 Fast and Furious 6 is stated to hit U.S. theaters on May 24th, 2013, expect to hear more about both films over the upcoming months.

“It’s not about the action and the cars, which initially appealed to me when I was 25 years old,” said Walker. “Because if that’s all it was, it would have fallen off a long time ago.”
