Washington [US], January 24 : Actor Vin Diesel announced that 'Fast X: Part 2' will finish shooting in Los Angeles, the city where it all began 25 years ago.
The actor, on Thursday, took to his Instagram account to share that the rest of Fast X: Part 2 will be filmed in LA, a move inspired by the recent wildfires that have devastated the area.
Diesel shared a picture with his co-star Jordana Brewster along with a note in which he shared that Brewster encouraged him to have Universal film the "rest of Fast X: Part 2 in LA."
"Last week, during the fires that displaced LA, my sister Jordana reached out to me and said, 'Please have Universal film the rest of Fast X: Part 2 in LA,'" he wrote.
"Los Angeles needs it now more than ever. Los Angeles is where Fast & Furious started filming 25 years ago, and now Fast will finally return home. All love..." he added.

The wildfires, which have devastated large portions of the LA area, first ignited in Pacific Palisades and spread to Malibu and Santa Monica, with the Eaton Fire particularly impacting the Altadena-Pasadena area.
Meanwhile, the upcoming movie marks the final chapter of the franchise. Last year, Diesel confirmed the saga's conclusion, describing it as a "grand finale" and a "celebration of the incredible family" they've built together.
According to Deadline, Universal is reportedly aiming for a March 2026 release for the highly anticipated film.
The film, which is directed by Louis Leterrier, features a cast that includes Jason Statham, Nathalie Emmanuel, Michelle Rodriguez, Jason Momoa, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, and Dwayne Johnson.
