The Fast and Furious series is preparing to say goodbye to the big screen with its last movie. Official statements about Fast and Furious 11, which has been on the agenda with allegations for a while, came. The statement made by the new director of the movie revealed the Fast and Furious 11 release date.
Fast and Furious 11 release date postponed to 2026
Universal Pictures had set the release date of the final movie for April 2025. However, after unexpected delays, this date was postponed. Accordingly, director Louis Leterrier announced that Fast and Furious 11 will be delayed by more than a year and will be released in the summer of 2026.
Justin Lin, the iconic director of the series, will not take part in the last movie. Louis Leterrier will direct the latest installment, and preparations will be completed on September 15. The director also said he will begin production on Fast and Furious 11 on September 16.
The main reason for the delay is unclear, but it seems to be due to the writer and actor strikes in Hollywood since last year. Vin Diesel, the lead actor of the series, is back on the sets. This means that the other actors have started preparing.
Although the delay in the release date is unexpected, it will make it possible to work more on the final movie. Screenwriters Oren Uziel and Christina Hodson are expected to write a more comprehensive story. Universal Pictures may also expand the movie’s budget.
The Fast and Furious franchise is an action movie series that focuses on illegal races and heists. Distributed by Universal Pictures, the series began with the 2001 film Fast and Furious. It is followed by ten sequels with Fast and Furious 10, two short films that tie into the series, multiple spin-offs and a video game series.
