Vin Diesel credited his costar Jordana Brewster with inspiring him to ensure 'Fast X: Part 2' shoots in Los Angeles

The decision to film in Los Angeles comes as the city grapples with the aftermath of devastating wildfires that have displaced thousands of residents

Vin Diesel is returning the Fast & Furious franchise to where it all started: Los Angeles. The actor took to social media to share a conversation with co-star Jordana Brewster about filming the rest of Fast X: Part 2 in LA to bring back production to the city following the devastating wildfires.

If the original plan for Fast X’s continuation had held, we’d be talking about how the Torretto crime family would be making a grand return on the 2025 movie schedule.

There has not been much traction on the eleventh Fast & Furious movie, Fast X: Part 2, and the franchise’s star, Vin Diesel, has revealed Jordana Brewster’s request for it amid the LA wildfires. His most recent Instagram post revealed that Brewster wants Fast X: Part 2 to be filmed in Los Angeles,

The action star said the decision was made in response to the deadly LA wildfires: "Los Angeles needs it now more than ever."
