​Fast X: Part 2 Enters Pre-Production with Los Angeles as Primary Filming Location

The eleventh and final installment of the Fast & Furious saga, Fast X: Part 2, has officially entered pre-production, with principal photography scheduled to commence in early 2025. Universal Pictures, in collaboration with One Race Films and Original Film, is steering this concluding chapter, which is currently targeting a theatrical release in 2026.

Director Louis Leterrier returns to helm the finale, ensuring visual and tonal continuity from Fast X. The screenplay is being crafted by Zach Dean, who co-wrote the previous installment, promising a cohesive continuation of the story. With long-running characters at the heart of the film, the creative team is aiming to deliver an emotional and action-packed conclusion to the franchise.

In a decision that has resonated with both cast and fans, the production is returning to its roots—filming in and around Los Angeles. Vin Diesel confirmed the location choice was influenced in part by cast member Jordana Brewster, with the intent to bring the story home and contribute to the local film community after a period of industry-wide disruption.

Franchise stars Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, and Tyrese Gibson are all set to return, and Dwayne Johnson is expected to reprise his role as Luke Hobbs—marking a much-anticipated comeback for the fan-favorite character. With returning leads and legacy storylines at play, this project will be one of the most-watched productions of the coming year.

For filmmakers, on-set crew, and production talent in the Southern California area, Fast X: Part 2 represents a high-visibility opportunity. The scale of production, combined with practical stunt work and action-heavy sequences, makes this a particularly promising project for those skilled in second-unit direction, special effects, stunt coordination, and more.
