Vin Diesel says production on “Fast Forever” will begin in December. Speaking at the 25th anniversary screening of “The Fast and the Furious,” Diesel tells Variety that filming is set to start that month, “if” he can meet a request from the studio. He also notes he is in a position to move forward.

Both outlets frame the announcement as a resolution to a longer delay. ComingSoon.net highlights that the start date depends on final studio approvals, and characterizes the announcement as a culmination of a five-year wait. Variety similarly presents the timeline as contingent rather than fully locked, indicating scheduling and studio-related decisions still affect the exact launch of principal photography. Neither source provides additional details such as cast, director, or specific release timing beyond the planned December start.

Overall, the outlets agree on Diesel’s core message: “Fast Forever” has a winter/December shooting target, with the final go-ahead tied to studio conditions.
