Behind Justin Lin’s ‘Fast 10’ Breaking Point
A Saturday to remember: It started as a talk about notes with franchise star and fellow producer Vin Diesel, escalated into a "major disagreement," and ended with a slammed door: "Justin finally had enough and said, 'This movie is not worth my mental health.'"

I always felt that the last one should be a lot less stunt/over the top and more grounded. It would circle back to the premise of the first movie and how Dom had been removed from professional track racing. The end would simply show Dom starting in a big race with a pit crew around his family. How they got there would be what the movie would be about. That is something I would gladly have watched.

Justin Lin had called this out and said he wasn't in shape for X on schedule as part of their argument.
He's still slated to play Riddick, so I figure it'll be taken care of this time.
On bringing O'Conner back-- it's a cheap way to get fans back to the franchise while undoing the best ending they had.
And I guess this officially confirms the Fast X Part 2 plan is gone. No trilogy because Fast X almost flopped. Confirms the rumors the commercial performance damaged Vin's plans for future movies.
