The Fast and Furious franchise debuted over two decades ago, and it was initially a street racing film series. Following its immense success at the box office, the films further branched out into different genres like espionage, heists, and conspiracies, but, for the final entry, Fast X: Part Two, they want to go back to basics.
During an interview with Collider to promote her upcoming romantic slasher, Heart Eyes, franchise star Jordana Brewster also addressed the high-octane franchise. The actress, who plays Mia Torreto in the series, made her first appearance in 2001’s The Fast and the Furious, and took a break from the series until the fourth film, 2009’s Fast & Furious, and has starred in every entry since. However, for the end of the franchise, she wants the series to be “gritty” and return to its roots.

This action-packed Fast & Furious movie with Vin Diesel and Paul Walker is now on Max.
When addressing the final installment of the billion-dollar saga, Brewster echoed the ongoing sentiment that she wants to return to street racing and a more grounded storyline. “Yeah, big time. I would like to go back to the roots of the first one, kind of like what you were saying with Final Destination.”
She continued, “I think it should be back in LA, I think it should be gritty, and I think Mia should go back to being part of a group that’s kicking some ass.”
She’s going to leave her mommy shoes behind.
Brewster added, “She’s going to leave her mommy shoes behind,” a reference to her child with Paul Walker’s character Brian O’Conner. In the franchise, O’Connor is still alive off-screen, although the late actor passed away when filming 2015’s Furious 7.

So, is the feud back on?
Fast X‘s ending introduced the first cliffhanger of the franchise. John Cena’s Jakob sacrificed himself to save Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto and his son, Brian, in the fight against the latest villain, Jason Momoa’s Dante Reyes. However, he destroys the dam they were on, with Dom and his son having to fight for survival. At the same time, Dominic’s friends, on their way to help, the plane Roman, Han, Tej, and Ramsey were in was shot down. It’s unclear how they will survive.
Mia was not part of the big fight, although she did have a meaningful role at the beginning of the film to protect Dom’s son Brian with Jakob. Following this scene, Brewster’s character fell to the sideline, as her character was originally cut in Fast X. However, there might be more in store for Mia in the final entry. Since she wasn’t on the plane or involved in the fight, she might be a key element in saving Dom and the rest of the group, and going back to basics is exactly what Mia needs to prove her skills.
Vin Diesel Teased the Return to Los Angeles
The Fast and Furious franchise began in Los Angeles. However, the franchise got to film all over the world once it started making huge profits. In the aftermath of the recent wildfire in Southern California, Vin Diesel revealed they’re planning to return to LA, something Brewster herself suggested.
“Last week, during the fires that displaced LA… my sister Jordana reached out to me and said… Please have Universal film the rest of Fast X Part 2 in LA,” Diesel explained in his post, which shows a photo of him hugging Brewster, his on-screen sister. “Los Angeles needs it now more than ever… Los Angeles is where Fast and Furious started filming 25 years ago… and now Fast will finally return home. All love…”
Fast X: Part 2 doesn’t have an official name yet and is expected to premiere sometime in 2026.

Reconnecting with our heritage: Part 2 – Embracing traditions and cultural practices
In part 1 of “Go Back to the Roots,” we explored the importance of understanding our roots and the benefits of reconnecting with our heritage. Now, in part 2, we delve deeper into how we can embrace our traditions and cultural practices to enrich our lives and strengthen our sense of identity.
One way to reconnect with our roots is to actively participate in traditional ceremonies, rituals, and celebrations. Whether it’s observing religious holidays, attending cultural festivals, or engaging in ancestral customs, these practices can provide a sense of belonging and connection to our past.
Another way to embrace our heritage is to learn about our family history and genealogy. By researching our ancestors and understanding their stories, struggles, and triumphs, we can gain a deeper appreciation for where we come from and the values that have been passed down through generations.
Additionally, exploring traditional arts and crafts, music, dance, and cuisine can further immerse us in our cultural heritage. By learning traditional skills and practices, we not only preserve our heritage but also create opportunities to share and pass on these traditions to future generations.
As we continue to go back to our roots, let’s remember the importance of embracing our traditions and cultural practices. By honoring our heritage, we can cultivate a deeper connection to our roots and foster a greater sense of pride in who we are and where we come from.
