Fast X: Vin Diesel’s lack of professionalism to blame for Justin Lin’s departure?

Vin Diesel is an actor and producer from the United States. He is most known for playing Dominic Toretto in the Fast & Furious franchise and is one of the world’s highest-grossing performers.

Justin Lin’s departure from Fast X could have been influenced by Vin Diesel. It was only a few days ago that the director, who has directed five Fast & Furious films, abruptly walked out of Fast & Furious 10. What was even more unexpected was that the decision was made just as production on the next installment was about to begin.

On Instagram, Diesel revealed the film’s new title as well as the fact that filming had commenced. Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, and Charlize Theron will all appear in the tenth instalment. Brie Larson, Jason Momoa, and Daniela Melchior are among the newcomers.

Meanwhile, according to a fresh story, Justin Lin’s departure may have something to do with Vin Diesel. Lin may have departed because Diesel is “so demanding,” according to the NY Daily News. It was previously reported that the Fast X filmmaker left due to “creative issues.” “Diesel arrives late to the shoot. He doesn’t know what he’s saying. And he shows up out of shape,” according to the article.

If this is true, it isn’t the first time someone has departed the Fast and Furious franchise due to issues with the cast’s lack of professionalism. We’re talking about Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson’s famed feud, which resulted in the latter leaving the film and launching the Hobbs & Shaw spin-off.
