The latest news about the Fast and Furious franchise might please movie fans, as it is rumored that Fast and Furious 12 will return to its roots, that is, to street racing movies.
Since its first release in 2001, The Fast and the Furious has spawned many sequels and spinoffs such as Hobbs & Shaw. Currently, several other film projects are also in development for release in the coming years.
Many fans have noticed that the theme of the story has undergone many extreme changes. Originally, the story was just about street racing, but now it has evolved into an issue that involves national and international scales.
In fact, they had to deal with international criminals, and the most criticized was how they portrayed the scene of going to the moon using a car.

Donna Langley, Chairwoman and Chief Content Officer of NBCUniversal Studio Group, hinted in an interview with Variety that after the Fast 11 movie, they will reduce the complexity in the storyline.
He also hinted that Fast and Furious 12 might return to the streets of Los Angeles and focus on a more “personal” story without the global threat.
“Where we go next is a question. We might change the time and bring it back to the streets of L.A. and maybe make the story more intimate.”
Over the past two decades, The Fast and The Furious franchise has undergone significant changes in story and theme.
Initially, the franchise focused on street racing, but it has now transformed into stories of high-profile heists and even rescue missions that threaten to destroy the world. Other than the first movie, the only movie that has received praise from fans is Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift.
The reason for this was that the movie introduced a new type of racing and also returned to street racing. Many fans strongly criticized the development of the story theme which seemed out of control.
They argue that the Fast and Furious franchise has become a kind of ridiculous franchise. Let’s just wait for the next news from this franchise in the future.
