Vin Diesel has delivered amazing news for fans of the “Fast & Furious” franchise.
There will be not one, not two, but three more “Furious” films, according to the star, who announced the trilogy on his Facebook page.
“Universal has been so good to me and so trusting of the vision… they have been like family… I promised the studio I would deliver one last Trilogy to end the saga,” he wrote.
The actor, who produces the action movies, also addressed a report claiming he’d been having trouble finding a director for the next film, set to hit theaters in April 2017.
“The fans of the Fast & Furious SAGA are the best fans in the world… Since I became the Producer in 2008, you have been with me every step of the way… literally giving me feedback that proved invaluable. Thank you,” he wrote. “My producing partner Neal would love for me to just sign off on a director, but this is too special a franchise, so these matters have to be very carefully handled. To be clear, NO ONE has been offered to helm Fast 8 yet… let alone seen a script.”
Vin ended his post with a promise to fans.
“I will announce the directors on my next post,” he wrote.
