Fast & Furious main franchise ending with 10 & 11 - What does this mean for the future?

Fast & Furious main franchise ending with 10 & 11 - What does this mean for the future?


So big news came out this morning that the very popular and huge Fast & Furious franchise will end with a huge two parter in the 10th & 11th film in the main franchise. This is big news and here are some of the things that I think will come out of this news. 

The 11th film will see the crew head to space. 

For a while now there have been big rumours that Fast & Furious will be heading to space, I mean most of those rumours have come from star Tyrese Gibson but it does make some sense. This franchise has just got bigger and bigger and more ridiculous as the films have gone on so why not space, also you can see this series and Mission Impossible competing to see which one gets to space first.

The final film could be one of the highest grossing films of all time

As the films have got crazier the success has just got larger, both Furious 7 and The Fate Of The Furious hit over a Billion Dollars worldwide which is crazy coming off a film which was basically point break with cars. With the news way in advance that Furious 11 will be the final film in the franchise that is just going to drive people to the cinema, especially if Furious 9 and 10 are good then this final film has the chance to possibly sneak into the top grossing films of all time. 

Gal Gadot's Gisele will be resurrected 

Fast and Furious was the first time the mainstream was introduced to Gal Gadot and she was a great part of Fast and Furious 5 & 6, unfortunately due to her being cast as Wonder Woman she couldn't return for the later films and her character was killed off, but that doesn't mean this is the end for her. With the reveal that Han has been bought back to life in Furious 9 and Michelle Rodriguez' character Lettie being bought back it is pretty easy to get Gadot back and she would be a big name to add to the last few films in the franchise. 

The Rock and Jason Statham will return 

Hobbs & Shaw was a very entertaining movie and was well received by critics, now it is well documented that The Rock and Vin Diesel don't like each other but I think they will put their differences aside in order to make the biggest film in the franchise, I even think they have to appear here due to my next point. 

The Director of Eteon will be the main villain 

Now if you have not seen Hobbs and Shaw, you will have no idea what this point means, but basically Idris Elba's villain takes orders from a higher power, the director of Eteon, who is set up as a future villain in the franchise. However, I think this villain is going to be the main bad of the whole franchise and be the link through to get the two franchises back together, there will probably be a reveal on who it is but I will save that speculation for a later date. 

There will be more Fast and Furious spinoffs

Even though the main franchise might be ending, the Fast and Furious name makes money so there is no way that this is the end. We will probably get a Hobbs & Shaw sequel and who knows what else, so don't expect this will be the exact end. 

Overall

Overall, this is a huge franchise but it does seem a good time to end Fast & Furious' main franchise and hopefully they go out as the crazy over the top fun that it can be.
