Screeeeeech! Pump the breaks! Fast & Furious 10, which had been set to open on April 7th 2023, has been pushed back six weeks. Universal Pictures now plans to open Vin Diesel’s latest on May 19th. It takes the spot of a previously-announced untitled Univeral event film.
No reason was given for the delay, but a six-week move isn’t that big of a deal. The entire franchise has been on the back of its heels since F9 had five separate release dates between 2019 and 2021 because of COVID-19.
F10 is expected to be the first chapter in a two-part saga that will see the franchise pull into the finish line. Justin Lin, who has helmed multiple films and helped propel it to the next blockbuster level, will return to direct.
