It seems Fast & Furious 10 will be stuck in the slow lane just a little bit longer, as Universal has pushed back the film's release date one month, from April 7, 2023, to May 19, 2023.
Variety reports the film's old slot in April will go to an untitled animated film coming from the studio behind Shrek. The move to May puts Fast 10 right at the start of the summer blockbuster movie season.
This isn't the movie's first delay. Fast 10 was originally supposed to come out this year but was pushed back after F9 was delayed to this past summer due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fast 10 will serve as the first half of a two-part finale for the Fast and Furious franchise. The movie will bring back many members of the family, including Vin Diesel's Dom, Michelle Rodriguez's Letty, Sung Kang's Han, and others. Justin Lin will return to the director's chair, after previously working on Fast 3 through 6, and F9.
Another storyline surrounding Fast 10 is the ongoing feud between Diesel and Dwayne Johnson, who plays enemy-turned-friend Luke Hobbs in the Fast movies. In the latest development, Diesel took to Instagram to tell The Rock that he "must show up" for Fast 10 and that he wants Johnson to "rise to the occasion and fulfill your destiny."
This came after Johnson confirmed that he would not return for Fast 10 or 11, and would instead focus on the spinoff series, Hobbs & Shaw.
We thought the last entry, F9, was great, saying, "F9 proudly pitches audiences into the shotgun seat on one more absolutely wild ride packed with thrills, laughs, and—in the end—a heartwarming message about family," in our F9 review.
