Michelle Rodriguez Talks About The Future Of The Fast And Furious Saga

Despite the news of only having two movies left to anticipate, Rodriguez gives a message about the future of the franchise. In her interview with Deadline at the San Diego Comic-Con, Rodriguez said that they will have to “pass the baton” to the younger ones.

While the mention of the kids is likely a joke, Ludacris also made a similar statement about the future of the series. The actor hopes that the franchise will “live on forever.”

Fans can only hope that the remaining Fast and Furious movies will make a great ending. It seems likely that the Fast X and Fast & Furious 11 will be the end of Dominic Toretto’s story. With this thought, the studio can create a spinoff with new characters and arcs, like the Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.
