Det var sedan länge klart att nästa del i serien om den pösbulkige växelspaksbrottaren Toretto och hans vilt vrålande blöjgäng av bilsladdande posörer - skulle dundra upp på biografdukar över hela planeten den 19:e april 2019, men nu meddelar Universal att det först kommer att ske den 14:e februari 2020. Varför? Vi vet inte, men det ryktas att det har med spinoff-rullen om The Rock-gubben Hobbs att göra, något som Vin Diesel knappast lär uppskatta. Fast X, den sista och tionde filmen i denna snorpopulära följetong, kommer att gå upp på bio den 2:a april 2021.
Cinemablend skriver följande:
"No specific reason was provided for why Fast and Furious 9 was pushed to spring 2020. It could range from the writers needing more time to crack the story to making sure that all the involved actors will be available for principal photography. Regardless, this breaks the two-year gaps the franchise had been keeping up since 2011's Fast Five followed 2009's Fast and Furious. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that we'll be without another Fast and the Furious movie until Fast and Furious 9. A spinoff centered on Dwayne Johnson's Luke Hobbs and Jason Statham's Deckard Shaw is in the works, and while Johnson already has a lot on his plate (like the Black Adam movie), it's always possible he could clear some of his schedule to re-team with Statham and have this movie ready to go by 2019. Fast and Furious 10, the final installment of the franchise, is still scheduled for release on April 2, 2021, though obviously that could be subject to change as well." Länk
Pussmun och tajta lycra-tröjor är Diesels gebit. Och snabba bilar då, förstås.
