I’m concerned thatFast & Furious 11won’t properly resolveFast X’sintense cliffhanger ending. When I initially left the theater after watchingFast X, I was shocked by how much I liked the tenth entry in the long-running series, and was incredibly excited about the eleventh movie. However, as time has gone by, I’ve grown increasingly moreworried aboutFast & Furious 11. Since the eleventh film has faced many production delays, I’m now more certain than ever that it won’t be able to properly continue the story that was set up at theend ofFast X.
At the end ofFast X, the film’s main villain, Dante Reyes, actually comes out on top against Dom and his crew. He may have failed to kill Dom and his son, Little B, but he seemingly succeeded in causing a plane carrying characters like Roman, Tej, Ramsey, and Han to crash. However, there is still hope for Dom since major characters likeDwayne Johnson’s Luke Hobbsand Gal Gadot’s Gisele Yashar return at the end ofFast X. Despite these exciting returns,I’m worried aboutFast & Furious 11since it will probably have to include a time jump.
Fast & Furious 11’s Extended Gap From Fast X Increases The Chance It Will Have A Time Jump
Fast & Furious 11 Still Hasn’t Started Filming
Even though Dom and Little B survive the dam explosion during the climax ofFast X, they are immediately forced to watch Roman, Tej, Ramsey, and Han’s plane go down. Because of this, Dom is arguably at his most hopeless point in the entire franchise in the final moments of the tenth movie. However, this cliffhanger likely won’t be properly resolved since the beginning ofFast & Furious 11will probably include a time jump.A time jump will probably be necessary since the actor who plays Little B, Leo Abelo Perry, will be visibly olderand much taller.
Since it has probably been at least three years since Perry filmed the dam explosion scene, he definitely will not look the same inFast & Furious 11, which means the film will have to jump ahead in time to account for this.
Sinceit has been two years since the release ofFast Xand the eleventh movie has not even started filming yet, there’s a chance that Little B will be completely unrecognizable in the film. This is a common problem for movie series and television shows that include young actors in major roles. Since it has probably been at least three years since Perry filmed the dam explosion scene, he definitely will not look the same inFast & Furious 11, which means the movie will have to jump ahead in time to account for this.
Fast 11 Having A Time Jump Means It Will Probably Skip Over Fast X’s Cliffhanger Ending
Fast & Furious 11 May Retroactively Make Fast X’s Ending Worse
Based on the ending of the previous movie,it would make the most sense forFast & Furious 11to pick up just minutes later. This would allow the movie to properly explain how Dom and Little B continue to survive Dante’s attacks, and how Roman, Tej, Ramsey, and Han survive the plane crash. However, since Little B was a major character in the final action sequence inFast X, the fact that Perry has aged a lot in between the two films will probably make this impossible.
Because of this,I wouldn’t be surprised ifFast & Furious 11included a significant time jump and just used exposition to explain how all the characters survived. This would be extremely disappointing, sinceFast Xundoubtedly has the biggest (and most exciting) cliffhanger of the entire franchise. SinceFast & Furious 11has taken so long to enter production, a lot of my excitement for the film, which is meant to conclude the franchise, has gone away.
Fast 11 Not Resolving Fast X’s Cliffhanger Directly Would Be A Huge Mistake
Fast & Furious 11 Needs To Overcome This Major Problem
IfFast & Furious 11does include a time jump, this will disappoint many viewers since they will be expecting the movie to resolve the cliffhanger. It will also feel like a cop out to have so many important characters seemingly die inFast Xand then not show how they survive. Overall,this major issue makes it clear that there wasn’t a proper plan in place after the release ofFast X, which is disappointing. Therefore, I’m concerned thatFast & Furious 11has no choice but to include a time jump, which would be a huge mistake.
