Inspired by a Vibe article, director Rob Cohen's The Fast and the Furious starred Walker as Brian O'Conner, an undercover cop trying to infiltrate a close-knit team of street racers led by Vin Diesel's Dom Toretto. The 2001 film was a hit upon release, leading to 2003's 2 Fast 2 Furious, which Diesel decided to sit out, clearing the way for Tyrese ...
Moviegoers' excitement over the tease of Diesel's return opened the door to reuniting the original cast, along with Tokyo Drift director Justin Lin, for 2009's Fast & Furious. "For 4, it was bringing back this crew, and specifically Dom and Brian, who hadn't seen each other in a longtime," Morgan says. "It's pitting them against each other and then...
Fast & Furious was a surprise hit, breaking the record at the time for the biggest April box office opening. According to Morgan, the success allowed the franchise to "go a little bit bigger" with the next installment, Fast Five, which is widely regarded as the best film in the series. And when going bigger, there's no one more fitting of the title...
From the beginning, family has been a theme in Fast & Furious, but as the franchise has gone on, that message has only gotten stronger. After all, we could never forget Dom's famous declaration: "I don't have friends, I got family." For some, it's become a running joke, but not to Morgan. "I think that's the heart of the Fast & Furious franchise," ...
While Tokyo Drift was originally viewed as an outlier, it has retroactively become one of the most important films of the franchise, due to the audience and creative team's affinity for Sung Kang's Han. The character died in Tokyo Drift, but Morgan says Han was "so cool" that they adjusted the Fast timeline just to keep him around, meaning the four...
Six films in, Fast & Furious had become a well-oiled machine, so much so that Universal fast-tracked Furious 7 to come out in 2014, just a year after Fast 6. This led Lin, who had directed the previous four installments, to pass the baton to horror filmmaker James Wan. But the director and the Fast family would soon be dealt a heartbreaking loss. O...
It's hard to pinpoint whether it was when they drove a safe through the streets of Rio de Janeiro, or when they battled on the longest runway in history, or when they flew a car from building to building to building in Abu Dhabi, but Fast & Furioushas become the signature franchise for "WTF, how did they just do that!?" action sequences. And someho...
Since joining the franchise in Fast Five, Johnson had been rumored to be getting his own spin-off, and that's now a reality with Hobbs & Shaw. But after years of trying to find the right situation and story, Morgan says it was Johnson's odd-couple chemistry with Statham in 2017's Fate of the Furiousthat sealed the deal. "There has always been an ag...
With Hobbs & Shaw looking to be a crowd-pleasing hit and Fast 9 and 10 already in development (plus a potential female-led spin-off, per Diesel), there will be no shortage of Fast & Furiouscontent in the next few years — and Morgan is hoping for even more. "I have things I'd like to really see," he says, referring to the Fastuniverse as a "giant sp...
