What Diesel’s Post Means For Fast X: Part 2
The Actor Has Been Teasing A Big Focus On Practical Fast & Furious Action
Since the release of the debut installment in 2001,theFast & Furiousmovies have become steadily more outlandish and ridiculouswhen it comes to their action sequences.F9: The Fast Saga(2001) was arguably the pinnacle of this ridiculousness, andFast Xwas said to take the franchise back to its roots. That ended up being only partially true, as theFast Xending, for example, featured Diesel driving down the side of a dam as it exploded behind him. Diesel’s latest post suggests the next installment won’t be forgetting about getting back to more grounded action scenes.
Fast & Furious 11’s Familiar Location Tease Can Help Return To The Franchise’s Roots
The latest location tease surrounding Fast and Furious 11 offers the franchise the perfect opportunity to return to its roots for the final saga.
Last month, Diesel shared a video of a muscle car skidding to a stop, and he wrote in his caption: “Oh the joy of seeing practical shots back on the streets.” This post is accompanied by several others, including one in which Diesel highlights the “practical exteriors” they were filming and another in which he says “I just want to get back to real street racing, practical stunts.” AfterFast Xreviewswere mixed,Diesel’s coverage ofPart 2thus far on social media suggests that audiences are in for a more grounded sequel.
It’s currently unclear ifFast X: Part 2will serve as theend of the Fast Saga, with Diesel having recently teased that it’s possible the “finale” will consist of three parts.
Our Take On Diesel’s Fast X: Part 2 Post
It’s Time To Return To The Franchise’s Roots
There’s a certain amount of fun to be had with the ridiculous antics of the more recentFast & Furiousmovies, but it has arguably reached a point of diminishing returns. Characters go to space in a Pontiac Fiero inF9, andsome of the car stunts in that movie are so silly that it just strips the films of any real stakes or sense of tension.
Diesel’s recent social media posts are reassuring, then, asFast X: Part 2could prioritize real driving over CGI stunts that come and go with little impact. It remains to be seen if the upcoming film will truly be returning to practical action or if this is part of a larger marketing push, but early signs are certainly promising.
