Vin Diesel is doubling down on his commitment to bring the “Fast & Furious” franchise back to Los Angeles.
On Monday, Diesel, 57, posted a video on Instagram, showing him and “Fast” co-star Michelle Rodriguez, 46, filming their new Häagen-Dazs Super Bowl commercial titled “NOT SO FAST, NOT SO FURIOUS.” In the post, Diesel took a moment to reflect on the history of the franchise in the City of Angels.
“25 years ago on the streets of Los Angeles, we created something that became bigger than any of us could have imagined. Not just a movie — but a family that stretches across the globe,” Diesel shared in his caption.
“Being on PCH, filming this Super Bowl spot, brought it all rushing back. The same stretch of coast where Pablo [Paul Walker] and I raced 25 years ago, practical driving, living those moments that would change our lives forever.”
The actor also highlighted the significance of the location, noting how he and Rodriguez were reunited with “local crew members I haven’t seen in years” during the commercial shoot. The ad features Diesel and Rodriguez relaxing with some ice cream when they cross paths with fellow “Fast” star Ludacris.
“We’ve all felt that Fast needs to come back to LA. Not just because it’s where we started, but because it’s who we are. Now, seeing our city hurting after these devastating fires, that pull is stronger than ever,” Diesel continued, referring to the wildfires that ravaged Southern California in January.
The devastating disaster led Diesel to reveal that the remaining unshot portions of the still-in production “Fast X: Part 2” will be filmed in Los Angeles.
“To every fan who’s made this decades-long journey with us — this one’s for you. And to Los Angeles, our first home, our heart — we’re coming back,” he added. “The engines are revving, the family’s gathering, and these streets are calling us home. Back where those quarter-mile races with Brian became legend, where every sunset holds a story. The saga’s coming full circle, and my heart is already racing…”
Ludacris, 47, shared his excitement in the comments, writing, “Let’s go!! 🔥💨.”
Diesel had previously shared that the decision to bring “Fast X: Part 2” to Los Angeles came after his co-star, Jordana Brewster, made a personal request. The upcoming 11th film in the “Fast & Furious” series picks up where 2023’s “Fast X” left off and is widely speculated to be the final chapter of the franchise, marking the end of a journey that began with 2001’s “The Fast and the Furious.”
A release date for “Fast X: Part 2” has not yet been announced.
