Nothing is more important than family. That seems to be the case both inside and out of the Fast and Furious films, as Fast X director Louis Leterrier is set to return for Fast and Furious 11.

Louis Leterrier joined the Fast and Furious franchise less than a year ago, following Justin Lin’s exit from Fast X due to major disagreements with the film’s producer and star Vin Diesel. At the time, it was unclear if Leterrier would continue as director for the franchise’s final installment or if he was only a last-minute substitute to finish the film.

Luckily for fans, Louis Leterrier has a long history with action films before Fast X. His credits include work on Fast and Furious alum Jason Statham’s Transporter franchise, Clash of the Titans, and The Incredible Hulk. While his work on Fast X won’t be seen until May, fans can rest assured the series is in good hands.

The people behind Fast X

Louis Leterrier is directing Fast X, working from a script by Justin Lin and Dan Mazeau. Leterrier replaced Lin, who stepped down from his post as director over creative differences. Despite his exit from the role, Lin is still credited as a producer alongside Vin Diesel, Neal H. Moritz, Jeff Kirschenbaum, Joe Roth, Clayton Townsend and Samantha Vincent.

The cast of Fast X features Fast and Furious veterans Vin Diesen, Michelle Rodriguez, John Cena, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, Sung Kang, Scott Eastwood, Michael Rooker, Cardi B, Helen Mirren, Jason Statham and Charlize Theron.
