WithFast & Furious 11set to be the final mainline entry,the film will undoubtedly be the biggest and boldest yet, creating all kinds of possibilities. The franchise has known almost no limits, asFast & Furious' most over-the-top sceneshave constantly defied belief and left audiences baffled, which is all part of its appeal. Even though the story sometimes leaves a little to be desired, the blockbuster film series rarely disappoints in terms of pure entertainment, as the death-defying stunts mixed with the characters' witty quips often create a memorable cinematic experience that gets people talking.
Characters have faked their own deaths, driven through skyscrapers, and even sent their cars into space, showing almost anything can happen in aFast & Furiousmovie. As a result,it’s anyone’s guess how the last movie will play- although a barbecue is all but guaranteed - meaning the final installment is bound to get wild. Therefore,predicting howFast & Furiouswill end for certain charactersand which heroes will make unexpected returns has never been more relevant, and we’ve compiled a list of all the wild things that could happen in the franchise’s swansong.
10Classic Fast & Furious Characters Join The Final Battle
The Final Movie Feels Destined To Pay Tribute To Some Of Its Original Characters
ConsideringFast & Furious 11is being advertised as the final main movie, it feels likethe perfect time to bring back some classic characters and pay homage to their legacy. The franchise has been producing movies for over two decades, making it no surprise some characters have been slightly forgotten over the years, but they should be brought back.
The franchise has been producing movies for over two decades, making it no surprise some characters have been slightly forgotten over the years, but they should be brought back.
Suki is one ofFast & Furious' most underrated characters, yet she only featured in one project, while Leon also had just a single appearance despite having a relatively large role inFast & Furious' first film. Additionally, Monica seemed like the sort of big personality who could do well among the main crew, yet her only appearance after2 Fast 2 Furiouswas a small cameo inFast Five’s post-credit scene.
Even Sean and Twinkie have been underutilized, only having one proper return inF9since leadingTokyo Drift. Therefore, with the saga coming to a close, it seems likely thatFast & Furious 11will bring back many of these familiar faces to aid Dom’s crew in the movie’s climax.
9Roman Survives Another Life-Threatening Stunt
Tyrese Gibson’s Character Has A History Of Defying Death
Having appeared in the majority ofFast & Furious' ten mainline movies, Roman has become one of the most iconic characters in the franchise, and seeing him defy death one more time seems possible in the next film. Alongside the many high-stakes chase scenes he’s been a part of, Roman has survived plenty of shootouts and somehow avoided death duringF9’s minefield scene, making him either unbelievably durable or incredibly lucky.
His last scene inFast Xsaw him onboard a plane that was shot down, yet he looks likely to return, leading to sometheories that Roman Pearce could be invincible. Given how muchthe writers seem to enjoy putting him in life-threatening situations, it’s not a wild assumption that he’ll once again cheat death and escape the final movie with his life, no matter how much the odds are stacked against him.
8Mr. Nobody & The Agency Turn On Dom’s Crew
Mr. Nobody Has Always Used Dom’s Crew For His Own Gain
Although Mr. Nobody has been a recurring ally to Dom and his crew in recent movies,Fast & Furious 11might just change that. His absence inFast Xsuggested that he could really be dead after his plane was shot down in the previous outing; however, it remains a possibility that he’s working from the shadows.
In addition, Aimes turned on the group inFast X, meaningthe Agency can’t fully be trusted despite having some seemingly loyal membersto the protagonists, including Mr. Nobody’s daughter, Tess. Still, the reveal that the Agency has been evil all along and is now working against Dom and his crew could be an exciting subplot that would make the heroes' journey even more difficult in the final film.
Brie Larson’s Tess Is Even More Important To Fast & Furious Than You Thought
Tess' connections to the Agency and Mr. Nobody already made her important, but she could be even more significant after Fast & Furious 11.
Despite his seemingly good intentions,Mr. Nobody has always used Dom’s crew to aid the Agency, not the other way around, meaning the shocking discovery that he is secretly a villain and is even working against his own daughter would be a fascinating twist thatFast & Furious 11may just pull off.
7Fast & Furious 11 Will Tease Dom’s Son As The Next Protagonist
Alongside Brian O’Conner, Dominic Toretto has been the franchise’s leading character since its inception and has become the sole lead in recent films, butFast & Furious 11presents the perfect opportunity to pass the torch. Vin Diesel’sDom Toretto has changed a lot throughoutFast & Furious, buthaving a child has easily impacted him more than anything, and his love for cars and the outlaw lifestyle already seems to be rubbing off on Little B.
Working on cars is one thing, but Little B watched his uncle die and was caught up in the explosion at the end ofFast X, indicating he is bound to follow in his father’s footsteps. He’s unlikely to have anything more than a minor role when it comes to actually taking down Dante, butFast & Furious 11could still have Little B do something ridiculous before giving him a line during the closing moments that hints athim starting his own crew one day.
6Cipher Sacrifices Herself For Her Former Enemies
Fast & Furious 11 Can Allow Cipher To Complete Her Redemption Arc
Fast & Furioushas a habit of turning its antagonists into heroes, and Cipher seems to be joining the list sinceher redemption arc started inFast X. Unfortunately, it won’t be fully complete until she helps save the crew, and sacrificing herself would be the perfect way to do so.
Cipher became one ofFast & Furious' best villainsafter her involvement inThe Fate of the FuriousandF9, but with Dante, Aimes, and potentially more antagonists already established heading into the final outing, her presence as a redeemed hero seems fitting. Her showdown with Letty inFast Xhas already set up the two working together alongside the returning Gisele, but saving either one of them from certain death would help her character come full circle.
WithFast & Furious 11supposedly ending the main narrative,it feels inevitable there will be some major deaths, with Cipher’s departure being the most logical. She is a big enough character for her death to make a big impact without hurting the main crew, and losing her life to save a former enemy would give her a satisfying send-off.
5Dante Reyes Kills Luke Hobbs
Killing Hobbs Would Cement Dante As Fast & Furious' Most Menacing Villain
With DwayneJohnson returning toFast & Furiousafter his Vin Dieselfeud, he will undoubtedly play a massive role in the main story’s final chapter. His mysterious phone call at the end ofFast Xhinted at a personal rivalry with Dante, and his upcoming spinoff cements Hobbs as one of the franchise’s biggest characters.
Despite this, his death remains a possibility inFast & Furious 11, and it may come at the hands of Dante Reyes.Assuming there is a personal beef between the two characters, Hobbs may go against Dom and his crew’s plans in order to take matters into his own hands.
Sadly, this could backfire massively and cost the hero his life, especially as the antagonist has already proven to be pretty cunning. Hobbs' solo movie looks likely to take place beforeF&F 11in the timeline, and although losing him would be a massive blow for future spinoffs, it would really amplify the final showdown, proving how menacing Dante truly is.
4Han Proposes To Gisele During A High Stakes Mission
The Two Getting Engaged While Their Lives Are On The Line Would Perfectly Define Their Relationship
The Rock wasn’t the only big star to make his comeback inFast X, asGal Gadot’sFast & Furiousreturnset up her exciting reunion with Han. Both characters likely believe the other is dead, meaningan emotional scene between the two is on the cards. However, beyond them simply rekindling their romance, a proposal could also happen, and if it does, there’s no doubt it will happen in the least conventional way possible.
Fast & Furious 11’s Long-Awaited Reunion Will Finally Complete A Storyline 4 Years In The Making
Han and Gisele could finally reunite in Fast & Furious 11, paying off a narrative thread that was planted in Fast Five over fourteen years ago.
Han’s laid-back attitude and Gisele’s love for danger means an engagement could happen during some high-stakes action, even potentially during the final confrontation with Dante. Having the couple driving for their lives while simultaneously getting engaged would be a great way to honor the unorthodox nature of their relationship, and consideringthey are two of the most likely characters to surviveFast & Furious 11, it would set up a deserved happy ending for the duo.
3Jakob Toretto Returns From The Dead
Dom’s Brother Could Be The Next Character To Fake His Death
Returning from the dead isn’t unheard of in theFast & Furiousuniverse, and given the last mainline movie will want as many big names as possible, I think John Cena may return as Jakob Toretto. His introduction inF9saw him face off against his own brother, but like many of the franchise’s other villains, he eventually found redemption.
Unfortunately, Jakob’s very next appearance seemed to be his last, as he sacrificed himself in a grizzly explosion duringFast X’s crescendo. While his 2025 plans with the WWE makeCena’sFast & Furious 11return as Jakob less likely,it would feel strange to have such a big star feature in just two movies.
Yet another character faking their death may feel tiresome, but given it’s supposedly the last movie, the story has to go out with a bang, and Cena’s presence would help. Therefore, Jakob showing up against the odds to help save the group could still happen, and it wouldn’t come as a major surprise, despite how wild it would be.
2Fast & Furious 11 Isn’t The Final Main Movie
Vin Diesel Did Tease A Potential Twelfth Movie
AlthoughFast & Furious 11will allegedly end the movie franchise, I’m still not completely convinced. Ahead ofFast X, it was announced that the series would be ending with essentially a two-part story, withFast & Furious 11scheduled to be the second part.Diesel proceeded to confirm on social mediathat it would be the finale, yetthe actor himself is the one who continues to throw doubt over whether it really is the saga’s conclusion.
He has since hinted at a twelfth movie, and even ifFast & Furious 11does finish things up for now, there’s nothing to guarantee that Universal won’t push for a return in the future. While the saga’s only spinoff -Hobbs & Shaw -was a box office success, it didn’t quite compare to the franchise’s most successful entries, and withFast & Furiousstill being a financial giant, the prospects of another installment are too great to rule outF&F 11teasing a sequel.
1Dominic Toretto Dies In The Final Showdown
After Years Of Cheating Death, Fast & Furious 11 May Finally Kill Off Its Protagonist
Vin Diesel has been at the front and center of the cinematic series for more than two decades, but despite his importance to the franchise, Dom’s death in the closing film does seem on the cards. The actor has only missed two mainline entries and has even adopted a producer role in recent films, proving how crucial he is toFast & Furious.
Having Dom sacrifice himself for his son, Letty, or the entire group is the perfect end to decades of heroism.
However,Dom’s journey has well and truly reached its end, and the final film could close the book on his story for good. Having Dom sacrifice himself for his son, Letty, or the entire group is the perfect end to decades of heroism.
Bold Dominic Toretto Theory Explains Why Fast & Furious 11 Will Be The Last
Whether Fast & Furious 11 will be the franchise’s final installment remains to be seen, yet a bold Dominic Toretto theory may explain why it could be.
He has always jumped in front of danger and put his life on the line to save others, but assuming he isn’t invincible, his actions have to catch up with him at some point. Therefore, I think Dom Toretto dying inFast & Furious 11is a realistic possibility, and it would be the best way for the franchise to properly move on while offering a clean slate for whatever comes next.
