Tyrese Gibson Admits He Hasn’t Seen the Script Yet

When Fast X was released last year, the movie ended on a major cliffhanger, leaving fans eagerly awaiting Fast X: Part 2. Last April, it was announced that Fast X director Louis Leterrier would return for the eleventh installment. However, the project was put on hold due to the WGA and SAG strikes. Recently, Vin Diesel teased that some of the franchise’s iconic cars would make a return.

In April, Tyrese Gibson shared that the movie would likely go into production in 2025. He provided a new update while appearing on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.

“I haven’t read a script yet. I’ve talked to the director, I’m constantly in touch with Vin Diesel and they do really well at keeping this franchise afloat. The moment that I get the call, I’m going to show up and try and do my job, and hope that they’re still happy with what I bring to the table,” Gibson shared.

The Fast and the Furious hit theaters in 2001 and 2 Fast 2 Furious followed in 2003. The sequel saw the return of Paul Walker as Brian O’Conner, but Vin Diesel chose not to return as Dominic Toretto. Instead, Walker teamed up with Tyrese Gibson’s Roman Pearce. Years later, in 2011, both Diesel and Tyrese appeared together in Fast Five. Both actors have since appeared in all the main Fast movies.

In honor of their collaborations, Diesel took to Instagram last year to share a tribute to his co-star.

“If you told me back in 2010, when we first worked together… that in 2023 we would be standing on the shores of Turks and Caicos discussing all of the countries we are about to tour for the release of the Finale. Wow. Surreal. ?? #Brotherhood #FastX,” Diesel wrote.

Tyrese replied, “We were all ones children on the playground as we would look to the left and the right sandboxes, play areas, basketball, tetherball. The innocence of looking around and feeling like so many options of friends… And as you get older, you specifically realize the difference between quantity versus QUALITY! If you would be so lucky to have one brother, that brother would be Vin Diesel. Humbled, grateful, and appreciative for you showing up, celebrating my birthday, and going to visit my mother’s final resting place with me. Iron sharpens iron and our conversations, laughter, vibes, talking about things that most people wouldn’t understand even if we tried to explain it… I’m a better man after these three days and I got my brother to thank… It’s been said that it’s not lonely at the top if you have somebody else to get there…:: #FastX global dance, and beyond… Here we gooooo!!!!!!!!!”
