The 10th and 11th films in the franchise, which will be the finale of the main movies, will be directed by Justin Lin, who returned to the franchise with F9: The Fast Saga in 2021. Beginning with 'The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift' in 2006, the filmmaker has directed five films in the long-running franchise.

Charlize Theron, who originally featured in 'The Fate of the Furious' in the eighth film and then returned for F9, is also anticipated to return. The tenth instalment is being produced by Diesel and Lin.

After Dwayne Johnson refused to return to the franchise after skipping F9, despite Diesel's pleas, the search for a replacement star began. However, because the script is still under development, it's unknown whether Momoa's role is the protagonist or adversarial, or maybe both.

It's unknown who else will return for Fast 10, which is set to begin filming this spring. The film is scheduled to be released on May 19, 2023, by Universal.
