- Quick Answer: Vin Diesel teased directing Fast & Furious 11 on Instagram, but Louis Leterrier remains officially attached as director while production waits to begin.
Vin Diesel seems to have given another confusing update about Fast & Furious 11, hinting that he may direct the movie.
Diesel has been dropping updates about the new installment in the long-running movie series, reportedly titled Fast Forever, but nothing has come to fruition yet.
As he recently claimed that production won’t begin until December, will Diesel be in the director’s seat?
Will Vin Diesel Direct Fast & Furious 11?
Vin Diesel has dropped several teases for Fast & Furious 11, from production allegedly beginning, which turned out to be a World Cup promo, to his rave reviews for the script, only for director Louis Leterrier to claim that he had never even seen a screenplay.
Now, in a post on Instagram, he shared a black-and-white photo of his character Dominic Toretto’s 1970 Dodge Charger, complete with a BDS (Blower Drive Service) supercharger mounted on its V8 engine.
In the caption, he wrote, “Director… Hmmm.”
Although he didn’t provide any explanation, the combination of Dominic’s car and the word “director” makes it seem like Diesel may be considering directing the movie.
As expected, many of his followers were excited by the idea, leaving fire emojis and seemingly encouraging him to pursue directing the film.
However, as Diesel provided no additional context, it remains to be seen whether he will actually direct Fast & Furious 11.
Could Vin Diesel Take Over as Fast & Furious 11 Director?
So far, Louis Leterrier, who also directed the 2023 movie Fast X, is linked to direct Fast & Furious 11.
But as the film hasn’t started production yet, there may still be a chance that Leterrier could be replaced by Vin Diesel.
Diesel himself has directing credits on his resume, including the 1995 semi-autobiographical short drama film Multi-Facial, the 1997 urban drama Strays, the short film Los Bandoleros, a prequel to 2009's Fast & Furious, and an episode of The Ropes.
These projects show that Diesel is no stranger to directing. And with the franchise having featured different directors since it began in 2001, changing directors is nothing new.
It’s also worth noting that Diesel has served as a producer on several Fast & Furious movies, so he has plenty of experience behind the scenes if he ever decides to direct the film.
So, if Diesel does end up directing Fast & Furious 11, it would mark a major change for the franchise and could make the movie even more sentimental, especially amid rumors that it could be the final film in the series.
