Los Angeles: Filmmaker Luis Leterrier will replace Justin Lin as director in Fast X.
According to Variety, the decision comes less than a week after Lynn abruptly left the 10th installment in the main Fast and Furious film franchise.
Leterrier is Universal Pictures' first choice, and schedules are still being worked out.
He has come to the franchise with vast experience in the activity sector. He expanded his directing career with two modest-budget action showcases in 2005, Jet Li (Unleashed) and Jason Statham (Transporter 2), and he starred in 2008's The Incredible Hulk, 2010's Clash of the Titans, and 2013's The Incredible Hulk. Worked in Studio Tentpole with Now You See Me.
The French filmmaker turned to television with two hit Netflix series: 2019's The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and 2021's Lupine.
Even in Lin's absence, work continues. With stars like Vin Diesel, Charlize Theron, and newcomer Jason Momoa already on set, Universal halted production on the main unit while the second unit continues filming in the UK.
Dan Mezzo co-wrote the screenplay with Lynn. Producers include Diesel, Neil Moritz, Lynn, Jeff Kirshenbaum, and Samantha Vincent.
