The much loved Hollywood movie Fast and Furious’s next instalment is pushed to a later date once again. Looks like fans will have to wait a bit longer to witness the action-packed performance of Vin Diesel. Now Fast and Furious 10 is postponed to a new date.

The eagerly anticipated instalment of the popular action franchise had originally been scheduled to come out on April 7, 2023. Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that the much-anticipated movie will be released on May 19, 2023, instead of April 7, 2023.

The Fast franchise, which began in 2001, has made $6.3 billion globally. The figures also include the 2019 spinoff Hobbs & Shaw. The most recent ‘Fast & Furious film, ‘F9’ opened in theatres last summer. It went on to gross $726 million globally despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

Justin Lin will direct both the 10th and 11th films in the Fast franchise, which will be the conclusion of the core movies. Lin has earlier directed the five Fast films beginning with 2006’s The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.

Vin Diesel and franchise regulars such as Sung Kang, Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Nathalie Emmanuel and Michelle Rodriguez are all expected to return. The mid-credits scene from F9 suggested Jason Statham’s character might be back in the upcoming instalment.

May 2023 will also see the releases of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy – Vol.3 and Disney’s live-action The Little Mermaid. Fast & Furious 10 will likely be facing some stiff competition from these films.
