Vin Diesel recently announced that the final scenes of Fast X: Part 2 will be filmed in Los Angeles, marking a return to the city where the franchise first began 25 years ago. On social media, Diesel said the move is a way to support the city’s economy, which has been struggling after massive wildfires caused widespread damage.

Jordana Brewster, Diesel’s co-star in the franchise, urged him to push Universal to relocate the production to LA. According to Diesel, she emphasized that the city ‘needs it now more than ever.’ Universal has not yet commented on the decision.

The first Fast and Furious movie focused on LA’s street racing culture, but over the years, the series has expanded to shoot in locations like Tokyo, Rio, London, and Havana. Now, with wildfires continuing to cause destruction in Los Angeles, the decision to return feels particularly meaningful.
