However, this does not necessarily mean that the 'Fast and Furious' cinematic universe is coming to an end. While the core storyline following Vin Diesel's Dominic Toretto and his family of fellow car-enthusiasts-turned-thieves-turned-physics-defying-superheroes will conclude after Lin directs the 11th installment, spin-off movies based on 'Fast and Furious' characters are currently in development at Universal.
The latest film in the main 'Fast & Furious' series, the tersely titled 'F9,' was originally supposed to debut earlier this year, but Universal pushed the project to Memorial Day 2021 in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
