Vin Diesel says that the sixth story in the Fast & Furious franchise is just too big and must be split up, therefore a seventh film is now in the works.THR reports that the creative team at Fast and Furious, which is made up of director Justin Lin and writer Chris Morgan, realized the story they had was too big for just one movie so now the sixth and seventh movie are being written simultaneously.
Diesel says adding a new film is because of the "inclusion of so many characters, and the broadening of the scope."
The franchise moved from racing to action-adventure with the last film and that will likely follow through into the next two films. they films could also bring back actors like Eva Mendes and Michelle Rodriguez.
Diesel said "We have to pay off this story, we have to service all of these character relationships, and when we started mapping all that out it just went beyond 110 pages,”He added. “The studio said, ‘You can’t fit all that story in one damn movie!’"
The actor did not say any details about the plot or characters or whether the two films would be a split story or individual standalone titles.
