The Shocking Delay of Fast & Furious 11 and New Cast Rumors
Fans eagerly awaiting the conclusion to the main saga will have to wait longer than expected. The final installment, currently known as *Fast X: Part 2* or *Fast & Furious 11*, has been significantly delayed. Initially slated for an April 2025 release, the film is now reportedly pushed back to a 2026 release date.
The delay is attributed to the fact that filming has not yet begun, and the script remains unreleased, according to updates shared by actor Tyrese Gibson. Despite the setback, Vin Diesel is confirmed to be returning as Dominic Toretto, ready to deliver the explosive grand finale. The film is expected to continue the high-stakes confrontation against the villainous Dante Reyes, played by Jason Momoa.
Unconfirmed But Highly Anticipated Cast Additions
The "Fast Family" is famous for its surprise additions, and the latest rumors suggest a major celebrity is set to join the ranks: football icon Cristiano Ronaldo. While not officially confirmed by the studio, actor Tyrese Gibson has publicly hinted at Ronaldo's "official introduction" to the franchise, fueling intense fan speculation for *Fast 11*. Additionally, there is strong speculation that Gal Gadot will reprise her role as Gisele Yashar, following her surprise return at the end of *Fast X*.

This movie aims to spotlight the powerful women of the franchise, including Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez), Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster), and possibly newcomers like Cipher (Charlize Theron) and Queenie Shaw (Helen Mirren).
