Overview
- Diesel shared an Instagram video with Universal Pictures CMO Michael Moses, who said they were "planning everything" and "we got it solved," which outlets framed as a positive signal.
- Photos show Diesel wearing a shirt reading "Fast X: Part 2 Los Angeles Production 2025," hinting at an intention to shoot in Los Angeles next year.
- Reports maintain there is no finished script and no announced release date, and the film has not received a formal production start.
- Industry reporting says Universal wants the budget trimmed to roughly $200 million from a recent estimate near $250 million, following scrutiny after Fast X’s high costs and thinner profits.
- Coverage notes potential cost-saving measures under consideration, including fewer international locations and reduced or altered roles for some returning cast, with cancellation previously reported as a risk if targets are not met.
