Vin Diesel has confirmed that filming for “Fast Forever,” the upcoming 11th and final mainline film in the Fast & Furious franchise, is scheduled to begin in December.
The film is currently set for release on March 17, 2028. Diesel shared the filming update while attending the 25th anniversary screening of The Fast and the Furious in Los Angeles. Speaking to Variety, he said production would start in December, provided he can meet the studio’s request.

The announcement follows four years of development and work with four different sets of writers. Diesel said the process was necessary to arrive at a script he felt was worthy of bringing the mainline series to a close.
“I had to go through four sets of writers, four years of development, to get to something that I felt would be worthy of a finale,” Diesel told Variety. “And when I read the script a couple of weeks ago, [I cried].”
At the screening, Diesel also spoke about how emotional the finished script was for him, telling the audience that he began tearing up halfway through and was crying by the end. His sister even joked, “No more crying, bro.”

Director Louis Leterrier, who helmed “Fast X,” has not yet read the latest script. Speaking to Polygon recently, he said he knew the film would have an ending and described it as “great.”
With filming now expected to begin in December, “Fast Forever” is moving closer to its planned 2028 release and the conclusion of the mainline series.
Marvel Studios has dropped the first official trailer for “Avengers: Doomsday,” and in just over two minutes it sets the tone for the next era of the MCU.
The trailer doesn’t explain everything. What it does is establish the stakes: collapsing realities, fractured worlds, and a villain positioned as Marvel’s next major threat.
Doom Arrives, And He’s Played By RDJ

The trailer’s biggest revelation arrives with the return of Robert Downey Jr, not as Iron Man, but as Marvel’s most feared villain, Victor von Doom.
Marvel reveals little about his origin, but the intent is clear. In one shot, Doom casually neutralizes Thor’s attack. No theatrics, only effortless dominance. The casting is deliberately jarring, and that seems to be the point. Rather than an emerging threat, Doom is presented as a figure already in control of the game.
The Multiverse Is No Longer a Side Plot
With realities colliding and worlds at risk, the multiverse emerges not as a backdrop but as the primary battleground of the film.
That explains the roster. Thor appears among the heroes responding to the threat. Sam Wilson’s Captain America, Yelena Belova, Shang-Chi, the Fantastic Four, and familiar X-Men all appear. It marks one of the MCU’s biggest attempts yet to unite characters from different corners of its universe.
The Return of Steve Rogers

The trailer’s biggest audience jolt comes at the end: Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, holding Mjolnir.
Marvel gives no context. Is it a variant? A flashback? A sacrifice play? The ambiguity is intentional. His return reinforces the idea that Marvel is revisiting the characters and storylines that shaped its cinematic universe.
The Fantastic Four Matter More Than Ever
Reed Richards and his team are featured prominently, and not as cameos. Their presence suggests their universe will play a major role in the multiversal conflict.
Given Doom’s comic-book history with the Four, their inclusion feels less like fan service and more like narrative necessity. If anyone understands Doom, it’s them.
A Darker Visual Language
The trailer adopts a more serious visual tone than some recent MCU entries. “Doomsday” leans into ruined cities, cracked skies, and cosmic-scale destruction. The tone recalls “Infinity War,” but the focus has shifted. This is no longer about assembling the team. It’s about stopping existence itself from unraveling.
The trailer also hints at cost. There’s a weight to the cuts, heroes outmatched, the stakes feel higher, and no corner of the MCU seems safe which suggests Marvel is willing to let characters fall before “Secret Wars” arrives.
With “Avengers: Secret Wars” already on the calendar, “Doomsday” plays less like a standalone film and more like Act One of a two-part finale for the Multiverse Saga. “Avengers: Doomsday” is scheduled for December 2026.
