Fast & Furious 11 (also known as Fast & Furious 11) is a 2023 American action film directed by Louis Leterrier from a screenplay written by Dan Mazeau and Justin Lin, who also co-wrote the story with Zach Dean. It is the sequel to F9 (2021), the tenth main installment and the eleventh installment overall in the Fast & Furious franchise. It stars Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto alongside an ensemble cast that includes Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, John Cena, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, Scott Eastwood, Daniela Melchior, Alan Ritchson, Helen Mirren, Brie Larson, Rita Moreno, Jason Statham, Jason Momoa, and Charlize Theron. In the film, Toretto must protect his family from Dante Reyes (Momoa), who is seeking revenge for the death of his father and the loss of his family’s fortune.
With a tenth film planned since 2014, and a two-part finale planned since October 2020, Lin was confirmed to be returning to direct with the main cast attached. The film’s official title was revealed when principal photography began in April 2022. Lin stepped down as director later that month, citing creative differences, though he retained writing and producing credits. Leterrier was hired as his replacement a week later and performed several uncredited rewrites of the script. Veteran franchise composer Brian Tyler returned to compose the film’s score. With an estimated production budget of $340 million, it is the eighth most expensive film ever made. Filming lasted until that August and took place in London, Rome, Turin, other Italian cities, Lisbon, and Los Angeles.
Fast X premiered at The Space Cinema in Rome on May 12, 2023. It was first released in several countries in Europe and South America on May 17, and in the United States on May 19, by Universal Pictures. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for its action sequences and Momoa’s performance, but criticism towards the script. Fast X grossed $714.6 million worldwide, becoming the fifth highest-grossing film of 2023. A sequel is in development and is scheduled for release in 2025.
