Vin Diesel says Fast & Furious finale contingent on Paul Walker’s resurrection

Two years after the release and subsequent shrug of Fast X, part one of a two-part still-unfinished series finale, Vin Diesel’s quarter-century-old Fast & Furious franchise is running on fumes. In one of those “Jesus, maybe we should pump the brakes on these budgets” situations, Fast X only grossed $714 million but barely turned a profit, Variety reported in 2023. Since then, Diesel has seemingly been unable to back his final bad boy out of the garage. Now we know what the holdup is: Diesel wants to raise the dead.
