Universal is celebrating the franchise’s 25th anniversary with a theatrical re-release of the original 2001 film on 21 August 2026, alongside a new attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood. Following the addition of the twelve-film saga to Netflix in July 2026, the franchise has maintained significant momentum, with total worldwide box-office earnings now estimated at approximately $7.3 billion. As part of the ongoing international celebrations, the original film is scheduled for a limited theatrical re-release in Mexico on 3 September 2026. These special screenings are planned for major cinema chains, including Cinemex and Cinépolis. Production of the planned finale, *Fast Forever*, has faced uncertainty due to budget disputes and shifting market realities. Director Louis Leterrier has noted the need to align the film’s scale with a less predictable market, particularly following a 45–65% drop in Chinese ticket sales. During a special 25th-anniversary screening in Los Angeles, Vin Diesel revealed that the project underwent a four-year development period involving four different writing teams. He expressed a deep emotional connection to the new script by Michael Lesslie, noting that it moved him to tears.
