The sequel to the franchise’s reboot of 2021, F9: The Fast Saga, has Justin Lin back behind the camera. Also returning for the 10th installment will be Sung Kang and Michelle Rodriguez along with Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Tyrese Gibson, and Jimmy Webb. Charlize Theron, who starred in F8 and F9, is also expected to return to the franchise.
Diesel And Lin Are Producing
Diesel wanted Dwayne Johnson — who appeared in the fifth through eighth films, as well as spinoff Hobbs & Shaw — to return to the franchise after skipping F9 and courted him both privately and publicly.
