While Diesel, 55, and longtime Fast and the Furious costar Michelle Rodriguez spoke with Fandango at the Fast X premiere in Rome on Friday, Diesel suggested that Universal Pictures requested the franchise end with a trilogy of films, beginning with the upcoming 10th in the series. "It's a really good question. As filmmakers, though, you want to allow people to enjoy the film without tipping the hat too much," Diesel said, when asked about the future of his character Dominic Toretto after Fast X. "I can say this: going into making this movie, the studio had asked if this can be a two-parter," he continued. "And after the studio saw this part one, they said 'could you make Fast X, the finale, a trilogy?' " "It's three acts in any story," Rodriguez, 44, added.

The news of a potential Fast movie to follow the already-planned 11th and final movie in the franchise comes one day after Paul Walker's daughter Meadow Walker shared that she makes a cameo in Fast X.

"Thanks to my dad, I was born into the fast family. I can't believe now I get to be up there too," Meadow continued in her caption. "With those who have been around to see me grow up."

Diesel previously revealed at CinemaCon in April that Fast 11 will release in 2025, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Fast X is in theaters May 19.
