Universal Pictures' Fast & Furious franchise will see the production of at least two more films:
Universal surprised the CinemaCon audience by debuting The Fate of the Furious, the eighth installment in Universal's hit franchise, in full Wednesday. Star-producer Vin Diesel took the stage to talk about the franchise, which he's been a part of since the beginning. "One of the things we're so proud of with this chapter is how much we defied expectations," said Diesel.
A ninth and tenth installment have also already been announced.
"As the world sees this movie, they'll see how its the beginning of a new trilogy," Diesel said, adding that certain characters were brought in for this new trilogy.
The late star Paul Walker, who died in a car crash before the seventh film was released, was on the mind of Diesel as he took the stage. "Part of Paul's legacy lives through every frame that we shoot," Diesel said. "There's something beautiful about that."
