Following a record-setting box office weekend, Fast Five director Justin Lin has confirmed to USA Today that he'll be back for a sixth entry in the high-octane franchise.

"It's pretty much 100 percent," Lin says, "It's going to happen."

Lin's comments match those made by Vin Diesel to ComingSoon.net last year on the Georgia set of the latest adventure.

"This is a trilogy," the star announced, "...When I was thinking of this 'Fast & Furious,' I thought of it as three stories. The one that you saw [4], this one [5] and the final one [6]."

Lin's comments today, however, are a bit more ambiguous regarding the ultimate future of the franchise:

Quote

"At five, we're just hitting our stride," he says, "We're growing. People want to continue this journey."

Indeed, plans may have changed since Diesel spoke or the star may personally have plans to exit the franchise after one more big-screen outing. What is certain is that the locale will be updated next time Dom and his team return to theaters. While Lin only says that a change of scenery will happen, Diesel was, last year, a bit more specific.

"I think we'll be in Europe in the last one," he announced.

Europe is kinda a guarantee.   at the end of the credits in 5 pretty much says that it is going to be taking place in Germany  

BTW the movie was actually VERY impressive, I did not intend to enjoy it as much as I did to be honest.

if Diesel is out of the franchise, it's over. They must have either Walker or Disesel in the movie. or else it will be failure. Before you say it, yes Diesel was in Tokyo Drift.

Good news. If the next one is as good as this one, I can't wait.

I've always wondered but to me it seems like Tokyo drift, if you want some sorta timeline for the movies, is last. And Diesels character, pretty much on the run from the US, and now Europe, ends up in Japan last. Maybe it's just me though.

interesting

That does look quite cool. Hopefully it's real, because I enjoyed Fast and Furious 5 a lot. The end to Fast and Furious 5 was quite clearly setting the scene for the sixth film, and I like the look of where it's going. I can see Tokyo Drift either being moved to the end of the story chronologically, or even being removed and viewed as non-canon.

Oh, brilliant! I've never heard of ComingSoon.net so I was a bit skeptical. Now that I know it can be trusted I'm very happy with that. The series might not be the same kind of good that critics look for, but for the people who just want to watch fast cars, action and explosion they're great.

After how awesome 5 was, and the twist ending, yes, whole-heartedly YES I don't see the series going being 6 unless the story requires two movies, but I see 6 ending the current run.

well if 5 was really good I'd have to see it haven't gotten time to mess with movies
