The Complete List: All 11 Fast & Furious Movies Released to Date
The *Fast & Furious* franchise is notorious for its convoluted timeline, with the third film, *Tokyo Drift*, actually taking place after the sixth. However, when answering the simple question of "how many," the easiest approach is to list them in their theatrical release order. This list includes the main saga films and the one major spin-off, *Hobbs & Shaw*.Here are all 11 major *Fast & Furious* movies released to theaters:
- 1. The Fast and the Furious (2001) - The original film that established the core characters: Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker), Letty Ortiz, and Mia Toretto.
- 2. 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) - A standalone sequel focusing on Brian O’Conner and Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson) in Miami.
- 3. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) - Introduced Han Lue (Sung Kang) and the world of drifting, but chronologically takes place after *Fast & Furious 6*.
- 4. Fast & Furious (2009) - The first of the soft-reboot sequels, reuniting the original cast and setting the tone for the modern action-heavy era.
- 5. Fast Five (2011) - Considered the turning point of the franchise, shifting from street racing to global heist action and introducing Luke Hobbs (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson).
- 6. Fast & Furious 6 (2013) - Features the return of Letty and the introduction of antagonist Owen Shaw.
- 7. Furious 7 (2015) - Introduces Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) and serves as a poignant farewell to Paul Walker’s character, Brian O’Conner.
- 8. The Fate of the Furious (2017) - The first film without Paul Walker, introducing the cyber-terrorist Cipher (Charlize Theron).
- 9. Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019) - The first major theatrical spin-off, focusing on the unlikely partnership between Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw.
- 10. F9: The Fast Saga (2021) - Introduces Dom’s estranged brother, Jakob Toretto (John Cena), and famously takes the crew into space.
- 11. Fast X (2023) - The first part of the final saga, introducing the new primary antagonist, Dante Reyes (Jason Momoa), and ending on a massive cliffhanger.
The Confusing Road to the Finale: Fast X: Part 2 Release Date
The main saga is currently set to conclude with a two-part finale, beginning with *Fast X* and culminating in *Fast X: Part 2* (often referred to as *Fast & Furious 11*). The release date for the final chapter has been a source of significant speculation and shifting announcements, which makes the current news highly valuable.What is the Latest Official Update?
The original plan was for *Fast X: Part 2* to debut on April 4, 2025. However, due to production delays, including the necessary time to develop the script and coordinate the schedules of the A-list ensemble cast, that date is no longer viable.
- The Current Speculation: While no official release date has been locked in by Universal Pictures, the most recent public comments from franchise star Vin Diesel hint at a much later arrival.
- The 2027 Window: Vin Diesel has previously suggested that the final film could be targeting a 2027 release. This would mark the 25th anniversary of the franchise, which began in 2001. Louis Leterrier, who directed *Fast X*, is confirmed to return for the final installment.
The delay is partly due to the development of a crucial bridge film—the untitled *Hobbs* spin-off—which is intended to set up the events of *Fast X: Part 2* and bring Dwayne Johnson's character, Luke Hobbs, back into the main storyline after his post-credit scene appearance in *Fast X*.
The Expanding Fast Universe: Confirmed Spin-offs and Future Films
The "Fast Saga" may be ending, but the *Fast & Furious* universe is just beginning. The franchise is actively developing multiple spin-off projects to ensure the world of high-octane action continues long after Dom Toretto drives off into the sunset. This strategy of expanding the topical authority beyond the core films is what keeps the franchise relevant.The Untitled Hobbs Standalone Film
Following a highly publicized reconciliation between Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson, a new standalone film centered on Luke Hobbs is officially in development. Unlike the previous spin-off, *Hobbs & Shaw*, this film is described as a new, standalone Hobbs movie that will bridge the narrative gap between the events of *Fast X* and the upcoming final chapter, *Fast X: Part 2*.
The film is expected to focus on the fallout from the events of *Fast X*, where Hobbs was revealed to be the one who captured Dante Reyes in the past. This movie will be essential viewing for fans looking to understand the full context of the final showdown.
The Long-Awaited Female-Led Spin-off
A female-led *Fast & Furious* spin-off has been in development for several years, with Vin Diesel confirming its progress. The project is expected to feature some of the franchise's prominent female characters, including Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez), Cipher (Charlize Theron), Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster), and possibly newcomers like Tess (Brie Larson).
While details are scarce, the development of this film signals Universal's long-term commitment to the franchise, with the goal of launching it immediately following the conclusion of the main saga. This is a key entity in the future of the *Fast* Universe.
Other Franchise Entities and LSI Keywords
Beyond the main films, the *Fast & Furious* universe includes other media that solidify its status as a major franchise:
- Short Films: Two official short films exist: *The Turbo Charged Prelude for 2 Fast 2 Furious* (2003) and *Los Bandoleros* (2009), the latter of which serves as a prequel to *Fast & Furious*.
- Animated Series: *Fast & Furious Spy Racers* (2019–2021) is a Netflix animated series executive-produced by Vin Diesel, further expanding the 'family' concept to a younger audience.
- Key Characters & Entities: The franchise’s success is built on its ensemble cast, which includes key figures like Dom Toretto, Brian O'Conner, Letty Ortiz, Luke Hobbs, Deckard Shaw, Roman Pearce, Tej Parker, Han Lue, and the villain Dante Reyes.
In summary, while the definitive count of released movies stands at 11, the *Fast & Furious* universe is far from over. Fans can look forward to at least two more major theatrical releases—the *Hobbs* spin-off and *Fast X: Part 2*—before the main saga concludes, with the female-led spin-off waiting in the wings to launch the next generation of the high-speed franchise.
