Vin Diesel Claims Fast Forever Script Is His Best Read in Decades

The actor shared his reaction on social media, praising the writing of Michael Lesslie as the finest work he has encountered in decades. Diesel emphasized that the finale will hold particular weight for long-time viewers, explicitly connecting the upcoming story to the first film that introduced audiences to Dominic Toretto and the late Paul Walker.

While specific plot points remain guarded, the finale follows the unresolved cliffhanger of Fast X, where Jason Momoa’s antagonist, Dante Reyes, left the Toretto family in peril. Director Louis Leterrier returns to helm the project, which arrives as the franchise prepares to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its debut. Diesel has long maintained that a proper send-off must honor the legacy of Brian O’Conner, recently confirming that he pushed for a narrative that finds a way to say a final goodbye to the character.
