The final moments saw Dom in a desperate attempt to defend his son, a story line that struck a chord with audiences worldwide due to its deeply raw emotional intensity.
Dante’s distinct wickedness sets the stage for an explosive ending.

Jakob’s sacrifice in Fast X added layers of sadness and sensitivity towards the final fight, ensuring that it is both action-packed and emotional.

“It’s filming early next year, and it’s coming out in 2026, which will be exactly to the day, 25 years since the first one came out. We wanna bring it back home, and still have a great big journey to tell…”

In fact, it also serves as aa tribute to the supporters who have been there from the start. It represents a return to everything that made The Fast and the Furious a cultural phenomenon: gritty street racing, tight-knit friendships, and a solid sense of loyalty.
