“It’s a really good question. As filmmakers, though, you want to allow people to enjoy the film without tipping the hat too much,” he said. “I can say this: going into making this movie, the studio had asked if this can be a two-parter“.
He added, “And after the studio saw this part one, they said ‘could you make Fast X, the finale, a trilogy?‘” When the reporter asked him to clarify his statement, Diesel said he is “going to get in trouble” if he spoke further.
