Since Fast and Furious 11<\/strong><\/a> is reportedly the final movie in this long-running action franchise, it shouldn\u2019t be too surprising that the long-awaited sequel seems to be throwing everything at the wall for this explosive installment. The latest news in Fast 11\u2019s development comes from lead actor Vin Diesel, who has suggested that Brian O\u2019Conner will return in some form<\/a> for the series\u2019 conclusion.<\/p>\n

While this is very exciting news, the franchise has to be very careful about how they handle Brian\u2019s return in Fast 11<\/a>. There are numerous risks, both narrative and personal, associated with reviving a character played by a now-deceased actor, but the decision will also have negative consequences<\/strong> for other franchise names.<\/p>\n

Brian’s Fast & Furious Return Is More Intriguing Than Hobbs Coming Back<\/p>\n

Dwayne Johnson’s Return No Longer Seems That Exciting<\/p>\n

For a while, it seemed like the return of Luke Hobbs would be a major selling point of Fast & Furious 11. The character has been absent from the main storyline for the past eight years<\/strong>, with the real-life feud between Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson<\/a> tainting much of the series\u2019 marketing. Hobbs\u2019 return is a huge moment that deserves the necessary fanfare to come alongside it.<\/p>\n

Fast & Furious 11 will have to follow up on several cliffhanger moments from Fast X while also providing a satisfying end to the series as a whole.<\/p>\n

Since the post-credits scene of Fast X<\/a> revealed that Hobbs was back in the picture and had found himself in Dante Reyes\u2019 sights, many viewers understandably assumed that his return would play a major role in Fast 11. However, now that Diesel has teased Brian\u2019s return, the concept of Hobbs coming back seems a lot less exciting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s definitely possible for Fast 11 to balance these two characters in a fulfilling way, this doesn\u2019t seem particularly likely. Even following Paul Walker\u2019s tragic death, Brian\u2019s spirit has lingered over this franchise in a way that no other characters have managed to do. He\u2019s such a special figure in this story, and his return runs the risk of overshadowing Hobbs\u2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Though it\u2019s exciting that Brian is coming back in some form, it\u2019s unfortunate that this will most likely come at Hobbs\u2019 expense. Production on Fast 11 has seemingly stalled over the last few months<\/strong>, and this narrative conflict may be a key reason why; it\u2019s hard to understand how the writers will balance these major character arcs without one clearly outshining the other.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, there\u2019s a Hobbs spinoff in the works<\/a> that should be able to give the character the exclusive sendoff that he deserves without Brian\u2019s return detracting from his story. Likewise, there have been very few updates about this project over the past months, but this makes sense since Fast 11<\/strong> <\/strong>is clearly the studio\u2019s main priority right now.<\/p>\n
