On Monday, actor Vin Diesel shared a group of pictures showing him sweating it out in a workout session. "The next chapter...," the actor wrote as the caption for the post, hinting that he has started preparing for the upcoming instalment in the long-running Fast and Furious franchise. While Diesel has not specifically mentioned the film's title in his post, reports say that Fast Forever is set to go on floors in December this year. Giving a stronger hint at the imminent commence of production on the film, Diesel's co-star Jordana Brewster wrote, "That's my brother!"

Vin Diesel's latest pictures have sent fans to a frenzy on social media, making them gush over his muscular beauty.

It is worth noting that Brewster plays Mia Toretto, who is Dominic Toretto's (Diesel) sister, in the franchise. She is expected to reprise her role in the upcoming film, which reportedly marks the end of the long-running franchise.

According to reports, Fast Forever is set to be directed by Louis Leterrier of The Transporter fame from a screenplay by Christina Hodson and Oren Uziel.

The franchise began with 2001's The Fast and The Furious and encompasses ten other films. Together, these eleven titles have grossed more than $7 billion from theatres, causing the franchise to be the longest-running and the most profitable series of films for Universal Pictures.

It has been a long wait for Fast and Furious fans to see another film in the franchise. First reports about the development of the film surfaced three years back, but production is yet to commence on it. However, the latest post from Diesel is sure to excite longtime fans of the franchise, with the action seemingly set to hit top gear soon.

Recently, Universal Pictures set the film for a March 17, 2028, release in theatres.
