MOVIE NEWS – The fans and the Universal studio are very sorry that the Fast & Furious series ends with the tenth – double – part, but there are strong arguments in favor of pulling it off the blind. ScreenRant also took a look at what the deciding factors could be.

1. The age of the characters. The main actors – Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster – have been playing the same characters for more than twenty years. What Alexandre Dumas was able to do in the case of the three bodyguards, he took the heroes out in their retirement apparently – under the title Twenty Years Later – which was not feasible for action stars. Even today, in the age of digital magic, such a thing would not be credible. In the case of Expendables, it worked once or three times that legendary action heroes parodied themselves and the genre, but according to the portal, it would be risky to spend hundreds of millions more on a similar project.

2. Diesel feels he has shown what he can do. The engine of the Deathly pace franchise, who writes the films both as a protagonist and as a producer, has already hinted several times that the series must be given a worthy ending, and then he is finito, he cannot add more. It is suspected that Fast & Furious will leave with a big bang, as Avengers: Endgame did, and everyone will cherish its glorious memory.

3. The spectacular ending brings high income. The producer Universal studio may feel that – to use an analogy that is not entirely foreign to the genre – they have already driven out what they could from this series, so they bid farewell to one of the company’s most profitable businesses with a grand finale. In Fast & Furious, he will leave on top, as befits champions.

4. Bonus: it won’t end, or there is still life after Dom. After Vin Diesel hangs the wrench on the nail, there are half a dozen opportunities to further exploit the format. You don’t necessarily need Dominic Toretto for this. Hobbs & Shaw‘s already in the works because the series’ two edgy characters, played by Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson, proved viable in the first spin-off. There may also be a prequel film showing the youth of the heroes. Sung Kang, the Asian hero of Tokyo Chase, can also get his own episode alongside Gal Gadot, and Brie Larson, who is now appearing in the last episode, is also a marketable heroine seems to be an independent production. And then there is the increasingly popular expancrator John Cena, who will burn rubber on concrete as the converted prodigal son of the Toretto family in one of the sequels.
