It is probably the character that has the best chance of making him money for years to come. He has essentially beem Dom Torretto, Riddick, Xander Cage and Groot. Groot isn't really recongizable as Diesel, so that leaves it down to the other three characters. I think Dominic Torretto is the once. It is the most down to earth of the three characters and he Vin Diesel can grow old with Dominic Toretto.

I for one can't wait for Fast and Furious 22: Hey Kids Get your Cars off my Lawn!

Vin Diesel is 52 years old, that might be Fast 10 or 11.

More like Fast and Furious 82 50 in the fast lane with the left blinker on.

I think we'll definitely see some old man Riddick and XXX movies. He's been holed up hermiting and enjoying his retirement. Get's pulled back in. Groot will be around for a while too, just to low commitment.

We're definitely likely to keep seeing Fast and Furious movies consistently, as those just make money. The Asian markets gobble those up. The Asian markets also work a bit differently with film series. With certain series they will just eat up endless sequels. FF8 made over 80% of its box office from international. Diesel got paid a cool $20 million, plus he's been a producer since FF4, so he's also making a share of the profits.

Diesel will continue to bleed FF dry, and with good reason.

I love F&F.

Why?

The same reason people love the WWE, or cheesy anime series. It's dumb. It's over the top. Anything can and will happen. Friends become enemies, enemies become allies. It's just complete schlock fake entertainment that's played as serious, and the more you invest in to the silly storyline the more you get out of it.

What? A couple of surprises. Dom has a brother that we never heard about and neither he nor his sister ever mentioned him? So much for being so high on "family". And then, the end of that trailer.... I definitely want to see how they explain that.

At first I was thinking "well this doesn't look as ridiculous as the last one" and then a Jeep started climbing up a falling swinging bridge and a Mustang was swallowed up by a fighter jet.

Although I am excited Han is back with a new Supra.

I didnt think the Furious Franchise could jump the shark, but here we are. Han never died, John Cena is Diesels brother (honestly should have been Paul Walkers brother if you want to go on similarities). This trailer is a mess. And why spoil Hans return in a preview?? C'mon man. That would have been an EPIC reveal if unadvertised.

Hardly an original joke at this point, but I'm very excited for FasTEN Your Seatbelts.

I stopped watching these movies after Fast 6, and I'm perfectly happy with that decision.
