Vin Diesel says Fast & Furious finale will be a three-parter

Buckle up for one last ride

Fans are preparing to watch the 10th instalment of the bumper film series, the actor revealed that the executives at Universal Studios are considering going out with a (lengthy) bang.

Speaking at the world premiere in Rome on May 12, he said: "Without tipping the hat too much, I can say this: Going into making this movie, the studio had asked if this could be a two-parter."

He then added: "And after the studio saw this Part 1, they said, 'Could you make Fast X, the finale, a trilogy?'"

Although Vin Diesel would refuse to say if it was true, his co-star Michelle Rodriguez added that the 10th edition was ‘three acts in a story’ to which Diesel replied: "You're going to get me in trouble here."

Universal are yet to confirm the news themselves.

While it may not mean the complete end of the franchise, the latest film will pay tribute to the late Paul Walker by featuring his daughter, Meadow.

She was only 15 when her dad was killed in a car accident and having grown up on the sets of the film, wanted to play a cameo role as a way to pay tribute to her father.

Sharing a behind-the-scenes image to her Instagram, she wrote: "The first Fast was released when I was one year old! I grew up watching my father Vin, Jordana, Michelle, Chris and more on the monitors. Thanks to my dad, I was born into a fast family.

"I am so blessed to be able to honour my father's legacy and share this with him forever."
