In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Louis Leterrier stated that he had an idea on how to broker a peace treaty.
“The peace treaty … I kind of did. We all did. Ultimately, the movie did. I didn’t know Dwayne, personally, but we reached out to Dwayne and Dwayne’s team. We sort of looked at each other from across the room and winked a few months back, saying, ‘We should work together.'”
He further continued that even though the franchise is wonderful in itself, the iconic characters are essentially what makes it a Fast family.
“This franchise was built by actors and characters. The set pieces are wonderful. They keep you entertained and keep you shoving popcorn in your mouth, but the characters make this franchise what it is.”
Fast X, starring Vin Diesel and Jason Momoa along with many iconic characters,is currently screening in theaters across the world for audiences to see.
