Overview
- At a 25th‑anniversary midnight screening Wednesday, Vin Diesel wept as he hugged Paul Walker’s daughter, Meadow, and the theater gave a standing ovation.
- From the stage, Diesel said Meadow would not let him represent their “brotherhood” alone, a tribute he framed with his longtime habit of calling Walker “Pablo.”
- Diesel announced the saga’s final film is scheduled for March 17, 2028, describing the endpoint as a thank‑you to fans for decades of support.
- The event ran in the Grand Théâtre Lumière under Cannes’ Classics banner, which spotlights films the festival deems culturally lasting.
- Universal’s Fast & Furious series has earned more than $7 billion across twelve films, a scale that explains its inclusion in a heritage slot at the festival.
