Fast X and Fast & Furious 11 can be to Fast & Furious what the record-breaking Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame were to the MCU.
Fast X and Fast & Furious 11, the final two Fast and Furious movies, can replicate Marvel’s greatest movie achievement. Considering how the Fast and Furious family is always up for a new adventure, star and producer Vin Diesel had to point out in advance that the next two Fast and Furious movies will be the franchise’s last. More than 20 years, 10 movies, and an animated series later, Fast and Furious has established itself as one of Hollywood’s most enduring IPs, and thus deserves an epic-scale finale. For a saga that has only expanded in scale since Fast Five, going big for the finale will be no challenge for Fast and Furious.
Although superhero films, especially the MCU, have become part of a category of their own when it comes to blockbusters, Fast and Furious has had strong box office results for the past ten years. Fast Five, the first Fast and Furious movie to be given a nine-figure budget, went on to claim $626 million, outperforming other 2011 blockbusters like Captain America: The First Avenger. Now, more than a decade later, Fast and Furious will return to the big screen with its most expensive movie yet, Fast X. Therefore, Fast X will have to offer a huge-scale finale that justifies its budget, similar to what Marvel did with Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
