Fast & Furious 10 Sets 2023 Release Date for Penultimate Installment

August 18, 2021

Coming off from a good theatrical run with F9: The Fast Saga, Universal Pictures has officially announced the release date for Justin Lin’s upcoming tenth installment to the blockbuster action franchise. Set as the penultimate movie of the main franchise, Fast & Furious 10 is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on April 7, 2023, nearly two years after F9 made its debut.

Despite the ongoing pandemic and limited theaters, the latest installment was still able to do well at the worldwide box office. The film has earned a worldwide gross of over $680 million against a reported budget of more than $200 million which led F9 to break several pandemic box office records.

Fast & Furious 10 will once again be directed by Justin Lin, who will also serve as the director for the final installment. Chris Morgan is also attached to pen the penultimate movie. Even though the official cast hasn’t been announced, it’s highly likely that franchise alums Vin Diesel, Tyrese Gibson, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Ludacris, Nathalie Emmanuel, and Sung Kang are expected to reprise their respective roles.

Based on the characters created by Gary Scott Thompson, the latest installment took the family around the globe from London to Tokyo, from Central America to Edinburgh, and from a secret bunker in Azerbaijan to the teeming streets of Tbilisi. Along the way, old friends will be resurrected, old foes will return, history will be rewritten, and the true meaning of family will be tested like never before.

F9: The Fast Saga also starred Oscar winners Helen Mirren, and Charlize Theron as well as the introductions of franchise newcomers John Cena and Grammy-winning superstar Cardi B.

The franchise began in 2001 with the release of Fast & Furious, which was followed by a number of sequels, spin-offs, video games, and merchandise. The cinematic franchise currently has a combined worldwide gross of more than $6 billion.
