Universal Pictures film studio chief Donna Langley says she’s quite open to a female-led spin-off of the “Fast and Furious” franchise.
The main run of the franchise is set to end with the upcoming two-part finale that kicks off with the Louis Leterrier-directed and $300 million-budgeted “Fast X” which was shot across London, Rome, Turin, Lisbon, and Los Angeles and wrapped in August.
That’s not expected to be the end of the franchise, with more spin-offs like “Hobbs & Shaw” expected to happen. Talking with Business Insider, Langley says:
“I would love to see a female ‘Fast’. So would Vin [Diesel]. We have so many great and amazing female characters in our franchise, and now there’s the new addition of Brie Larson to add to the incredible roster. I would love to see us do a female ‘Fast.'”
Reports have hovered for years about a potential spinoff spotlighting the various actresses of the franchise, including Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Charlize Theron. Helen Mirren and Nathalie Emmanuel. Oscar-winner Brie Larson will join the cast with the tenth entry.
Back in 2019 screenwriters Nicole Perlman, Lindsey Beer and Geneva Robertson-Dworet were reportedly enlisted to work on such a project – but the studio never gave it green light.
