FAST X: PART 2 – FIRST TRAILER (2025) Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson

With reviews for the last two installments in the franchise being mixed at best, Fast & Furious 11 does feel like the right place for the franchise to end. Walker's Brian played a crucial role in most of the earlier installments, including the acclaimed Fast Five (2011), so it would be fitting for the final film in the saga to feature some kind of grand farewell. Brian, after all, remains alive in the world of the movies.

This would presumably mean resurrecting Walker digitally, as was done for parts of Furious 7 after he died midway through production. The Furious 7 ending was surprisingly touching and arguably served as the perfect sendoff for Walker, meaning any similar moment in Fast & Furious 11 could risk not feeling quite as powerful. If the film keeps it short and sweet, however, it could end up putting an emotionally satisfying bow on the Brian storyline for good.
